Show me someone who is following no one,
and I will show you someone who no one is following.
No one can influence anybody unless they have been influenced. If you try to influence and you have not been influenced you exert “leader-less leadership.” You can never turn the hearts of people and provide true transformation.
Mentorship is like the martial arts, when I was a young boy I was a student in “Do Meibukai” a defensive Japanese art. When I set my foot in the dojo I knew nothing about fighting, in fact I joined the martial arts because I wanted to beat people around and show them what I was made of. Months went in and I discovered that martial arts were about discipline and not fighting, that they are about humility and not gift, attitude and not ability. I entered the dimension of the “maturity transaction”. The two edged sword of mentorship stretched me to be an “extremely dangerous” fighter and at the other extreme I was trained to be humble and “extremely disciplined”. Hence, trained to be a killer on one hand and trained never to fight on the other, trained to be the first to flee whenever possibilities of violence lurk. Mentorship is the key you have been waiting for to rise to dimensions where you can move men and mountains. Mentorship teaches you to master yourself. It makes you conquer through learning when and not to fight.
