Nice post! There seem to be a lack of genuinely good mentors in society. But after you take action and leave the victim mentality behind, is it perhaps possible to be your own mentor, or are are we doomed to be our own worst enemy...

This is just what I was thinking. At a certain age, one has to deliberately grab their thoughts and realize that the finger they're pointing at the person(s) they blame for their problems, have three more pointing right back at them.
If necessary, pretend you have no past; especially, if it stirs the demons that keep you from moving forward in positive progression.
Let the people in your past serve to remind you of why you choose not to drink...do drugs...make lots of children with women who aren't your wife...on and on...
Be the mentor...the example you want the next generation to represent...Otherwise, your living might just be in vain, and a sad replica of the past.
Peace.
Thanks! Yup, today you can find mentors everywhere(Internet) and in that way become your own mentor. The problem is however all the false prophets. Those who promise and garantee too much. People often want to make more money, and instead of doing like Karate Kid and starting with wax on wax off, they want to go directly to the fighting. It's actually a very good message in Karate Kid :)
