The Mentor
Discuss (5)Just as some people refuse to see their faults, so there are those who insist on digging too deep, persecuting themselves over every fault and making unreasonable demands upon their lives. Eventually they collapse from exhaustion, or worse, kick back with resentment.
This is why no person should go it alone. Everyone needs a mentor, someone who can look objectively and say, “This is where you are right now. This is what you can expect from yourself right now.”
Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson
From the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory; words and condensation by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman. To order Rabbi Freeman’s book, Bringing Heaven Down to Earth, click here.

It would be a question for a Rabbi, in a one to one conversation, to discuss fully and give me a response to my question.

Imagine how differently you'd see yourself and your work - or your life for that matter, if you had someone cheering you on every step of the way. This I believe is one of the purposes of the Modeh Ani but a mentor would be a wonderful place to get those cheers. When we feel appreciated, we find strength and inspiration and motivation to do that which is innate ... to be all of who we are ... to be the best of who we are.

I needed to hear this and I thank you for helping us to help ourselves, paradoxically that in fact we may need someone else to show us a healthier perspective.
