Mentor In The Mirror oleh Wayne Nalls

I wanted to write a book about how each of us can capitalize on our own experiences and those relationships that we have had to become our own mentors – what I call "Mentor in the Mirror". This Mentor is accessible to us 24/7, is a trusted agent, and knows us better than anyone else. The Mentor in the Mirror also knows our goals and personal desires for professional and personal success. This Mentor knows our unique skills, and, as we will find out, they are also capable of guiding us in the actions we take to achieve that success. By developing ourselves as our own mentors, we crush the notion that success is limited to a select group or class of people who are fortunate enough to have someone mentor them. Your Mentor's goal is to provide encouragement, information, guidelines, and wisdom that reflect your true values and to motivate and challenge you to focus on your strengths and talents to achieve your goals. What's happening on the outside (behavior and actions) is a reflection of your inner self. And what's within is the stored material your Mentor uses to shape and develop you. For maximum use, this information should be continuously updated, changed, modified, and renewed leading to on-going transformation. As the caterpillar is transformed within its chrysalis to become a butterfly, a person is transformed within to become the "winged" hero he or she is destined to be. In many lives, the Mentor in the Mirror lies dormant, below the level of awareness. Instead of wielding a strong positive influence on one's behavior, the dormancy of the sleeping giant results in counterproductive behavior and wasted talent. Now is the time to awaken the giant. I challenge you to read and study the material in this book and put to use the knowledge and ideas to help to create the life you want and deserve. As you practice the things you learn, you will discover the key to personal success and being your own Mentor is not only within, it is within your reach.
