#finding mentors

View On WordPress

I met this older gentleman yesterday who has run his own business for 40 years after quitting his job. Talking to him left me in awe because I quit my job to create my own businesses, sometimes I get overwhelmed and I think maybe I should just go back to what I know. But here is this 78 year old man looking like he is in his late 50s, totally happy and content with his life. Telling me that quitting his job was the best thing he ever did and for me to shut all negativity and other people fears out. He told me his life story, the reasons why he started his own business and most importantly what he deems most important in life. He did not start his business because of money, prestige, recognition but he wanted to build. He reinforced my belief that I could do anything. So far GOD has blessed me with five mentors. He has opened opportunities where I have met wise people that are older, wiser and years ago have stood where I am standing now and became successful by sheer grit/belief/craving to make something. After talking to him I thanked GOD because he gave me another omen for me to follow what I really want to do. I am happier knowing I am finally paying attention to that part of me that screams constantly "DO THIS!" regardless what everyone arounds me screams that I am not following the more "traditional path" in life. I am also coming to the realization that when you follow your path and start getting besieged by doubts, GOD gives you these signs that you should pay attention to or bring people in your life that you should talk to beyond the superficial conversations. Yesterday I met someone who gave me wisdom and flamed the fires of my soul to always "build." THANK GOD.
