Helena Escalante and Scott Perry discuss finding mentors and role models. Escalante shares T. Harv Eker's quote: "Every master was once a disaster." She explains that mentors aren't just people, but also books, movies, and small moments that help you build your own path.
Any insights or any thoughts on the difference and/or the desirability of seeking out heroes, mentors, teachers, fellow travelers, examples?
Absolutely. One of my favorite quotes is by T. Harv Eker, and it goes like this: Every master was once a disaster. I love it. Uh, and We all seem to have our goals. We know the places we want to go, but we just don't necessarily know how to get there, right? And I think the idea of having, again, a teacher or a mentor is fantastic, but we tend to find them again in real life, and sometimes we cling on to them too much, which is what you were talking about. But let's not forget that we can also find quote-unquote mentors in books, in fellow friends, in, in a movie. There may be a line or there may be a message that strikes you as such. And there may be little mentors or little pieces of inspiration that come to you, but they are all very valid because it's through those eureka moments that you piece together the information as to where you want to go. And that's how you get those bits of, let's say, the jigsaw puzzle to put your route together towards your goal.
