To Become Self-Determining

"One of my most valuable life lessons came from my mentor when I was eighteen years old. I was feeling sorry for myself when my mentor asked if I’d like a helping hand to help me through this rough spot. I said, “Yes.” Then he looked me straight in the eye and told me in no uncertain terms that if I wanted a helping hand, I had one at the end of each arm. He promptly turned around and left the room. As startled as I was, I knew he was absolutely right. He knew that for me to become self-determining I had to find my own answers."
