MENTORSHIP
            ~using experience as a bridge
 

Whether your knowledge began with a book-based system,

or something derived from trial and error—or a combination of the two—you are in

a position to share your skills, and to Mentor others.

 
This knowledge need not be something society considers of high value--because all knowledge can be important and practical if it is what you need in the moment.
 
In this way, each of us is a teacher, just as we continue to be students. Through your behavior, conversation, and even body language, you are teaching. Those around you are measuring your response to things, and whether by embracing your methods, or consciously avoiding your methods, you are teaching.
 
When you intentionally Mentor someone, you are going far beyond mere teaching. You are embracing the whole of a person, looking at the big picture. You may be a ski instructor—and you will not stop at technique. You will teach your apprentice to tonify the body with diet, strengthening, stretching, and visualization techniques. You will teach them to study the mountain and the weather, and advise them in choosing their equipment.

 
As Mentor, you become part of their life. You were trained to do this—first as being a child. Whether or not you enjoyed an upbringing of two adults, one adult, or a tribe, your family may or not be blood related. They may have had a primarily negative, or positive influence on your life skills, your tenets, and your beliefs.

Think of all the things you learned 

to do as a child—in the first year--by age 3, age 6, age 15. 

You have learned much. And, you have taught much.

 

If you are particularly skilled, is it not a glorious thing to teach those who will follow you and carry the same torch? If you have

 had Mentors, you know how beneficial it can be.

 
So, today we urge you to look into your toolbox. What is it that you are uniquely qualified to do? What is the tenor of your voice? And how can you change the world by sharing what you know with another, who can grow these talents even higher by beginning on the scaffold that you help them build? 
 
 

Blessed Be This Day
