wisdom for the ages

i have never been one to automatically assign a level of wisdom to somebody simply because they are old. i have met many wise young people. so i post this one simply because it's a neat way to recognize the contributions of our wiser aged population.

but it does pay to have a mentor: somebody to rely on for wisdom when you have trouble. find some person close to you whom you can trust and ask them when you need help. i promise they will give it to you, if for no other reason than because you asked and they want to be a part of your life. plus, your showing that level of respect will be seen as a great honor and they will focus on the help they give.

i have a mentor who i have not spoken to in a very long time and i am gonna get in touch with him today. he has been missing from my life and i want his wisdom to reach me and my thoughts again. his name is darrell pehr and he is one of the greatest people i know.

find yours, and you will unlock pieces of your potential you never knew existed.
