"In this respect, the mentor relationship often replays elements from our childhood. Although a mentor can be a man or a woman, he or she often assumes the form of a father figure—there to guide and help us, but sometimes trying to control too much and plot our life for us. He may take any attempt at independence, even later in the relationship, as a personal assault on his authority. You must not allow yourself to feel any guilt when the time comes to assert yourself. Instead, as Faraday did, you should feel resentful and even angry about his desire to hold you back, using such emotions to help you leave him." - Robert Greene, Mastery . I'm working on my new blog/business in earnest now - Mastering Modernity, helping people to find the skills they need to flourish in modern times. I'm working on mastering a few skills, but I started w #musicjournalism, as it was something I'd already put the most time into. Im pondering this idea of #mentorship. There's not exactly a lot of people waiting about #darkambient/#noisemusic/#horrorsoundtracks. Any have any ideas for #musicjournalist mentors? . #mastery #master #robertgreene #books #bookquotes #masteringmusic #masteringmovies #masteringmodernity #modernity #modernism #musicwriting #albumreviews #mentor #masteringwriting #goyourownway #doyourownthing #learning #study #writing #bookblogger #bookworm #bookstagram #findyourvoice #jsimpson (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WANRlhD91/?igshid=1ke1xnc7gxrlq
