I started thinking about this because of my nature to poke my advice in other people's faces whether they asked for it or not. A flaw, probably but it's never stopped me, except to wonder about it and why I do it.
It got to me to thinking (don't fret, be patient...I will get to the question eventually) about our Elders, our mentors, our wise advisor's and who they are. Unfortunately, a lack of mentorship in our youth with the Tribal Elders showing the way is what I believe and see as the basis of our troubled society. Respect is gone. The youth (pardon the expression) don't realize nor do 'we' tell them that the frontal lobes of our brains that determine impulsive behaviors and decisions is not fully developed until the late twenties or early thirties. Until then, 'we' are not playing with a full deck so we NEED absolutely mentors and mentoring.
So, the question(s) is this: Who are your mentors, do you have somebodies that you look to for advice or instructions? Where do you find them, did they find you...stuff like that. Truth is, I have an answer(s) for I have advisors and sages and mentors. Do you?
Oh, and thanks for reading this far and pondering along with me.
and that around me (in my family & friends) is the opposite... the elder ones seek mentoring in me & the more younger than them most of the time... sometimes was/is not fun. But friends are great listeners, great potential and surprising mentors. In the job I´m one of the eldest
