"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world." --The Buddha
Our Mentors Are Where We Are
Have you ever heard the phrase, "Wherever you go, there you are"? The same could be said for our mentors. Shannon Cutts spoke to a crowd of several hundred students at Truman State University about body image and eating disorders. The truth she shared with students is that most of us simply don't have time to stop and analyze all of the messages that come at us each day. Most of us don't even have time to stop and notice that those messages are there. Yet they mentor us. They sink into our awareness anyway -- whether we invited them to do so or not. Wherever we go, there we are. And our mentors will go with us... both the mentors we consciously choose, and the mentors which we allow to choose us unconsciously.
BE THE CHANGE
Reflect on the thoughts, messages, and mentors that influence you.
