I had read somewhere that mentors play an important role in your life. The books also said that if u have to be successful in life u need to have a mentor.....I just read the statements without chewing them....Now i know the importance of those sentences and why precisely those sentences are there in the book.
What ideologies you had in mind if you find some body living those and progressing ,growing in life it gives an amazing sense of confidence which you never thought you had in your life.It's very difficult to explain it to someone unless the other person himself has experienced the same.
I go to sleep with these thought....Next morning I come to office and as habit go to robinsharma.com to read his blog on "finding Uncomfortable friends" which exactly talks about being with people who have higher aspirations and look at life in a different manner or may be in a manner which u know if u had the guts you would have lived exactly the same way...
So i find that the thoughts that are creeping up are right and I should enjoy them....
BUT...There is a dilemma as well......Does this qualify as Hero worship? Or there is a thin boundary somewhere which I don't know...Is Hero worship good ? Does it not lead to blind faith ? Is blind faith in things OK ??? I don't know.....I am seeking answers....I really don't know......
But i know one thing for sure ,the moment you stop struggling because of lack of confidence or awe or shear laziness ,what ever may be the reason ,the moment you stop struggling is the moment you start the hero worship because in your mind that is the best you can do .
It is at this point when hero worship starts and the mentor seizes to be a mentor anymore.
So the struggle is to reach your own level of evolution by taking learnings from the mentor . It is in this space of struggling is where the mentoring lies. The struggle stops so does mentoring.
