- I choose my mentors.
- Mentors don’t find you 1. You find them.
- Mentors don’t have to know they are your mentors. You don’t have to let them know, either. Just let them mentor.
- Sometimes, mentors come in the form of friends.
- Many of my mentors likely didn’t/don’t know they we’re/are my mentors.
- Some of those mentors looked to me as a mentor to them. They think it is only a one way thing.
- Some of my mentors I’ve never met in person, only through written communications.
- Some have been life long, others short term.
- I have mentors for different activities: Spiritual mentors or writing mentors, for example.
- You will not find mentors unless you are ready to do the work.
I may have more on this subject as thoughts arise.
- Note for White folks: Despite what Hollywood has made you believe, Morgan Freeman is not going to magically appear to show you the ways of the world or a better golf swing. This is fiction. A lie sold to you by your own screenwriters. This “Magic Black Man” does not exist. Even if he did, you’d still have to find him, not the other way around. ↩
