You will never meet a pilot who trains himself, every pilot is trained by able pilots, and even after graduating from aviation school, you are still called a first officer, you are not a captain, and you now fly with a captain for several hours before you become a captain.
You will never meet a high flyer in every area of life who has no mentor… you will never come across a professor in any discipline who was not a student of another, so in every field of life, tutelage and apprentices are the order of the day. Without mentors, you have no ladder and without a ladder your access to the top is impossible. I have some steps here that represent a ladder and if I hate these steps but want to be at the top I will be stretching all my life.
Mentors are the ladder that you climb to the top, without a mentor you have no ladder and without a ladder, your access to the top remains a daydream.
This is crucial, many people have been struggling to move and are still in the same spot and they are sweating, so badly.
Some people say but you said if we work hard we are going to fly high no, you need steps to climb, without the steps there is no way you will reach the top, all you can reach is two steps from the ground by yourself. And anything from the third step we can't find you there.
Some of us are flying today because of the feathers we develop from our fathers. You will never find an eagle in the sky who has not been fathered by a father eagle, there is nothing you're called to do that somebody has not done before, many have passed on before you.
And you will never play your role well without a role model, role models are facilitators of destiny, they help you achieve what years of struggle may never bring to pass, my role models in ministry don't borrow, so I don't have a heritage of borrowing. No lazy man can follow in the footsteps of a giant, that's why there are few giants.
Those who don't regard the steps on the ladder become victims and vulnerable to all kinds of things, struggling to rise with all kinds of skills but there is no way up. If you ever want to get anywhere, quickly identify a mentor, no matter how intelligent you are, without a ladder your access to the top is impossible
