I. The Power Of Mentorship

Having someone we can look up to and get guidance from is invaluable. Here are 7 qualities of a good mentor:

  1. Someone who understands your vision.

  2. Someone who sees you for who you are.

  3. Someone who is trustworthy and honest.

  4. Someone who challenges and supports you.

  5. Someone who respects your autonomy and decisions.

  6. Someone who can help you grow and diversify your strengths.

  7. Someone who is patient and gives you space to make mistakes.

II. Problems Are Great Opportunities

Most people see problems as burdens and barriers. Leaders see them as opportunities to make things better.

Before we call something a problem, let's aspire to change our attitude toward the problem and see them as:

  • New Beginnings

  • Gifts & Blessings

  • Answers & Possibilities

  • Opportunities to Unlearn and Relearn

III. A Lifetime To Learn

Lessons most people take a lifetime to learn:

  • That lesson will repeat itself until you learn it.

  • Feeling sad after making a decision doesn't mean it was the wrong decision.

  • Self-awareness is realizing that there is no opponent ― you're fighting against yourself.

  • Sometimes saying goodbye doesn't mean you don't love something. It just means you love yourself too.

  • If you keep one hand on your past and one hand on your future, you'll never have either. To embrace tomorrow, you must let go of yesterday.

  • The world starts and ends entirely inside your mind. No matter where you end up, no matter how rich, or successful you become, you won't enjoy any of it if you get there at the expense of your mental health.
