Proactive.
Purposed Instruction.
Intentional Intervention.

Yesterday, I mentioned Mentors in my life and the respect I possess for them.

The active and kinetic movement of a Mentor is what they do to affect change. 

To Mentor is to teach. To Mentor is to coach.

To Mentor is to exhibit the traits taught earlier.
To Mentor is to “lifestyle” the things spoken.
To Mentor is to walk out and example behaviors conducive to success in a given field or activity.

Being a Mentor is not a passive act.

The neophyte needs active and interventionist behavior.

The first Mentor in life is a parent.
If a parent is passive then they have abdicated their role as leader and Mentor.

Bring a Parent/Mentor is the most difficult role because for the 18-25 years you teach and instruct them the one being instructed lives with you.

Therefore, consistency in your message and method is essential.

Preaching a message is a good thing.

Practicing the preached message is where the “rubber meets the road”.

That is a secret for all Mentors…

to consistently model the lessons
being taught.

It says you really believe it.

If you take your pre-school child to
bible school and they learn about Jesus…and you teach them that as well…
and you do not behave as if that message is important… 

the words spoken and the mentoring will be eventually seen as false.

You would be MENTORING a message
without MODELING  the needed behavior.

Mentoring is active ….kenetiic…
always watching the student…
and always being watched by the student.

It’s an everyday thing.

It’s an everyday active verb when it’s being exercised….
only becoming a noun when it’s accomplished.
