A mentor... hmm... aside from the iron (yes, I spent a lot of time with weights myself) I would have to say my best mentor is nature.

Nature teaches with cycles, with survival and with endurance. Many times I have hiked with my doggie and learned lessons taught outside of a classroom.

There have been many books that I have thought well enough of to call an influence as well... but people have never been good mentors for me. They aren't consistent enough.

Belatedly, a mentor to me is something/one you learn from that shows you the truth. There are lessons in life that cannot be taught by anything other than experience. Be it experiencing your body's limits or your mind's. A mentor is something/one who pushes you to your limit and helps you discover who and what is inside. That is a mentor to me. I know my idea isn't anyone else's - nor would I wish it to be. We all need to find our truths in a way that is meaningful for us. [img]smile.gif[/img]
