If you desire to nuture and grow anything along the path of having a mentor then have a acceleration in the skill of whatever your pactice is.

You should always aim directly at accelerating in anything you do, constantly.

If you don’t accelerate you will decelerate.

If you don’t swim you will sink.

You go either up or down.

A rocket never stops halfway.

Unless, if of course it had a faulty design.

The mentorship brings a new view point, new experienes, new lessons, and a new level of acceleration in whatever you practice.

Getting in a mentorship can either be easy or tricky.

It is all about how you present yourself.

If people don’t see who you are then they only see what you appear to be.

If the they don’t see what you appear to be then they never knew you.

Positioning.

You must position yourself correctly and design yourself prefusely to then showcase yourself parallel with something that has faults but great potential.

A true mentor will yearn to teach someone like this.

What is the point of trying to make yourself look perfect?

No mentor desires to pay the costs of teaching someone who has already achieved what they have.

They desire to see the acceleration.

A false cover is always easy to see through.

The most hidden things are the things hidden in plain sight.

The Mentor never chooses the student

If you design yourself and construct a certain appearance it will be specificaly to benefit the environment you are in.

Unless you are self-destructive.

Yes the mentor has a choice wether to teach the student or not but the student always align themselves with the mentor.

Once you have choosen your mentor study their antics.

How they act, react, their habits.

Never make this known to your mentor for it will bring a direness of discomfort and the relationship eventually fall apart.

The purpose of studying your mentor is to have the specific trust when they guide you on a skill.

The specific trust is a trust in only one area…

The skill which they’re teaching you.

Would you trust a jeweler to build houses and a carpenter to cut jewels?

Certainly not.

Direct your trust, learn not to live like someone but to obtain their specific qualities.

Trust someone only in what they’re good at.

The Mentor Negative

A mentor will always try to impose themselves on you.

Most of Their purposes is to leave a imprint.

But for the ones who don’t have that purpose except to simply teach and bring prosperity are the best mentors.

But many mentors purposes is to spread a specific style and idea.

To revolutionize.

If you succeed and prosper in this idea better than they themselves (The Mentor).

Then jealousy and resentment may arise.

This has happened in several occurences for great scientists and atheletes who had mentors.

The thing you must be most weary about is questioning every tactic that the mentor has outside of the skill which they will teach you.

Never question to disprove, only question to understand and learn.

You should question it but, if the mentor tries to prove to you why their idea is worthy of truth then be careful to not reflect them.

A student subconsciously tends to reflect the mentors attitude and pursuit.

The mentor will believe that the student is trying to convince them.

Usually only when the student is reflecting the mentor.

If you are the student this is what you will hear in this negative.

“You need to be more humble.”

“S/he just doesn’t listen.”

“Do you think you know everything?”

These statements I have heard countless times in my life.

Listening to people trying to convince me.

I had tried to reason but whilst doing so I reflected their purpose back to them.

Their purpose for many situations was to convince.

Not to convince me that I am wrong, but to convince me to take a different action.

If you can do not put the mentor in a situation to try and convince you at all.

Be Mentor Weary

Attract mentors, people love to talk and teach about what they do and do not know.

Their are but a few things you need to be aware of under the guise of mentorship.

-Do they ask for information before they make a statement or tell you to do something differently?

-Do you want to live and be like them?

-Are you simply learning a specific quality from them?

-Are you accelerating?

-Do you feel constrained or trapped under this mentor?

-Is their a proper value exchange between you and the mentor?

-Does the mentor want to teach you or want to leave an imprint on you?

Find out and know, who teaches you?

Become the melting pot don’t give away to the melting pot.

If you want to be smart, athletic, and rich then have three mentors leading you on each practice.

A life coach gives you only one perspective unless they themselves are a melting pot.

If you are lesser you listen.

If you are equal you reason.

If you are greater you either stay silent or teach.
