I finally understand what a mentor is ….

A mentor is someone who is always one or many steps ahead of you.. someone you strive to beat, or at least, lock eyes with across the finish line of life.

A mentor is someone you might love, admire, be intimidated or inspired by, but that person pushes you, either obviously or subconsciously, to be a better, more capable human being.

A mentor broadens your perspective and challenges you to think wider and go farther… the resulting action might be driven by either respect or fear, but both create a more superior human capable of tackling any challenges thrown their way.
