Mentor - An Important Step Towards Your Growth
There is no doubt that everyone wants to grow in personal & professional life and there are so many resources available which will say first set your goal, do not set big goals in the beginning, be dedicated towards your goals, be focused etc. I totally agree to all these because these are coming from many proven leaders across the world BUT there is one thing which I would like to add to this list i.e., FIND A GOOD MENTOR FOR YOURSELF. According to me this step comes before even setting the goals. I will just share my opinion why this is an important step towards your growth and why should it come before the goals.
Most of the times we just follow the goals which are set by our parents or family for us, or we just set those goals under influence of someone else. Someone wants to be a doctor because parents want him or her to become doctor or because his/her brother/sister was doctor so that person also decided to become a doctor without even realizing his/her own traits, behavior etc. Some people do not even know what they really want to do in life, specially most of the college students feel direction less when they are in the last semester of their graduation. They come under pressure when they do not get the job and their friends around them get a job.
In these situations, role of a mentor comes into picture. A good mentor will not only help you in identifying your interests, your traits but also help you in setting up the right goals for you & showing you the right path to reach those goals. You might have heard that Success is not a destination, it is a journey and sometimes it is a very long journey. Everyone faces ups and down during this journey and there are times when most of the people think of giving up, mainly after a series of failures. Believe it or not it becomes very difficult for people to stay focused, stay positive after failures and here, I feel the need of a good mentor who can
- Help us in overcoming these failures
- Help us in being dedicated and positive towards our goals
- Help us in showing the path forward
- Motivate us
Mentor is someone who will understand your goals, who will trust in your efforts, who will share new perspective, who will share knowledge, who will encourage you during your tough times and who will give unbiased & constructive feedback.
I understand it is very hard to find a good mentor, but this is necessary. I feel blessed that I am always surrounded by good friends and colleagues but not everyone is same lucky as me, so I thought of forming a small group of my friends & colleague as “Mentor Group” who can help anyone who needs guidance & mentoring. I am open if more people want to join this group.
