“Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.” ― Helen Keller.
Here is the closing of this teaching series on LIVE LIFE BIG using the DREAM acronym. In this week’s teaching, we will conclude with the alphabet ‘M’ which stands for Mentorship Factor.
To truly live life big is to recognize that your purpose extends beyond your own ambitions. It’s about lighting the path for others and allowing the light of others to guide you as well. That’s where mentorship steps in as a powerful catalyst that doesn’t just accelerate your journey—it transforms it.
Don`t LEAVE Your DREAM, LIVE Your DREAM—And Live Life Big!
The DREAM acronym—Dream Factor, Resilience Factor, Embrace Teamwork Factor, Accountability Partnership Factor, and Mentorship Factor—is your compass to living life big. Just as Eleanor Roosevelt said, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Infuse that future with the MENTORSHIP advantage, and you’ll not only reach your potential—you’ll exceed it.
I just wrote a new book, “THE MENTORSHIP ADVANTAGE: WHY MENTORSHIP MATTERS”, released last month on Amazon to highlight the indispensable role mentors play in helping you realize your fullest expression of self. Because in the quest to leave your mark on the world, a mentor can turn your faint aspirations into a radiant legacy.
Here is a Glimpse into The MENTORSHIP Advantage using the MENTORSHIP acronym:
M – Motivation: Mentors help you tap into your inner drive.
E – Expanded Perspectives: They broaden your worldview, revealing solutions where you saw only problems.
N – Networking Opportunities: Mentors connect you to people and places you wouldn’t access otherwise.
T – Transfer (Transfer of Wisdom): They pass down invaluable lessons learned from their own paths.
O – Observation Laboratory: Mentors turn your experiences into teachable moments, allowing you to observe and learn.
R – Relationship: Beyond guidance, they offer trust, understanding, and camaraderie.
S – Support and Guidance: They are your safety net when challenges arise.
H – Honest Feedback: Mentors speak truth into your journey, even when it’s uncomfortable.
I – Inspiration: Their stories and successes ignite a flame within you.
P – Personal and Professional Growth: As you evolve, so do your capabilities, character, and confidence.
Embrace mentorship. Embrace greatness. Embracing the journey that proves living life big means leaving it better for others.
