Who are your mentors?

Who do you allow to guide and influence you?

Are you actively choosing mentors or passively leaving it to chance?

Whether you realize it or not, you are being mentored. You’re being mentored by the individuals and, in some cases, the organizations you allow to influence your thoughts and, subsequently, your actions. That’s why it’s essential to choose your mentors actively.

How should you choose your mentors?

Fortunately, there’s not a one size fits all answer to this question.

Since the advent of the internet, which in case you don’t realize, has not always existed, you’re no longer limited to finding mentors that you know personally. Although there is an upside to mentors you know personally because there’s a greater opportunity to vet them in person and meet with them face to face. But if you’re judicious enough, you can also find excellent mentors online.

When identifying a mentor, it’s important to find someone who aligns with your values and guides you towards getting what you want out of life. You want a person that challenges your thinking, not because they’re attempting to influence you to think like they do but pushes you to think about why you’re pursuing your chosen path.

So, the next time you’re thinking about an area of your life that you’d like to improve, consider finding a mentor to help you on your journey. Identify a person or people that have your best interest in mind and let them guide you in achieving your goals.
