Importance of Mentor in your life

Most of the middle class people have studied hard and got a job and they are trying to settle in life.
But one thing we fail to realize is what our real potential is.

Your parents would have worked for 40 years or more and your grandparents also would have worked for 40+ years. But still you are struggling to make ends meet. And your kids will go in the same route after you retire.

Why ? Why are you still in the same lifestyle (or slightly better lifestyle) as your parents ? Are you not capable to take your future generation to next level ?

and his coach

I truly believe anyone with a strong desire to go ahead in life can reach higher level with the help of a mentor.

Have you imagined why all the sports people have coaches ?

Their coach may not be better than them.

But , they perform better when they are mentored by a coach.
They stretch you.
They find your blind spots to make you better person.

When you were kids, your parents would have coached you. But once you start working or get into a new area where they dont have the expertise, they cannot coach you in all areas of life. Nor your friends - they are also in the same boat as you trying to make the ends meet. That's exactly where you need a different brain to think for you - A Mentor.

You will do good in life even if you dont have a coach. But you will do great if you have a coach. There is a thin line between the good life and a great life.

I never understood these till I got a mentor in my life few years back. I am so glad that I qualified for his mentorship which taught me more things in life that my 20+ years of education nor my friends could teach me.

I wish upon each of you to get a mentor and reach the level of life that you never imagined you would reach.

Welcome

I was never a writer and I never wanted to be one. So please excuse me for any mistakes. This is just a place where I want to scribble down my thoughts.  Let me get this straight, the ideas told in this are solely mine and please have a supermarket approach - "take only what you like".  With that welcome to my world of thoughts.

The world needs more leaders

One thing that I understood from my life so far is everyone in this world is looking for someone to follow. Be it as childhood hero,at work,politics or anywhere. Everyone likes to follow other people but fails to look into themselves. But, is it not what you need to become ? What does it differ between the person you want to become and what you are right now ? Have the courage to break out and become that person that you look forward to become. Create your own identity in this world. Don't just live your life and become the unknown . Develop a personality that will make your children proud of you.

What do you really own ?

When I was first introduced to the Cash Flow quadrant by my mentor, I understood one thing - the easiest thing you can be in life is an Employee. You don't have to make a lot of decisions.  You will feel like the employer is depending on you so much that they cannot survive without you.  You miss the job so much when you are on vacation. But think again - What do you really own ?  Do you own the desk or  chair you sit or keyboard you use or the $1 marker  ? Answer is NOTHING . You can steal them. But still you don't own them. This is applicable to anybody in the organization. Be it Manager , VP , ED, or anybody. Just that they have different price tags - some have price of Honda, some are BMW. But still all of them are owned by someone else. It takes effort to be in any other quadrant. That's why not many people are there in those areas. You get comfortable in where you are in life. Ask yourself this when you are sitting in your cubic...
