"A mentor empowers a person to see a possible future, and believe it can be obtained" Shawn Hitchcock.  Mentors have so much to offer you through spirituality, carer, business, social and personal perspectives.  They can help guide, support, inspire and advise you.  Mentors make you dream.  A mentor will challenge you and is  not afraid to tell if you are falling off course.  They have a wealth of experience in the realm you chose them for, such as being a better husband, wife, musician, entrepreneur, mother, father student or author...  They offer a different outlook on the same subect or task.  They are also in agreement with your point of view and can bring you to a higher level.  They are a resource, a giver, and a confidant.
