...in two ways...
The obvious trajectory impact of a mentor is that the life being mentored becomes capable of reaching new and never before imagined scope. In this way, a mentor provides fuel to propel the journey.
The less obvious trajectory impact of a mentor is to propel the mentored life in the right direction. Just a degree or two of misdirection at the point of origination turns out to be a substantial impact the further it gets from the point of divergence. In this way, a mentor provides calibration.
Mentors are essential and play a much larger impact than seen in any given moment. As I reflect on the past decade of my life, I can point to a handful of mentors who have generously and deeply poured into my life and I am eternally grateful for their investment. I don't know where my life would be without them, but I do know there is no way I would be where I am today without those key mentors.
Simply put, mentors change lives and consequently, the world!
