Finding the right mentors.

Today's entry is a quote from Seneca on his essay on the shortness of life, which is one of my all time favorite quotes from Seneca.

He says, we like to say that we don't get to choose our parents, that they were given to us by chance.

Yet we can truly choose whose children we would like to be.

I just love that quote so much.

Because to me, that's what I've done in my life.

I've picked who my ancestors are, who my parents are.

I'll get into more of that in a minute.

Let me give you the meditation today.

We are fortunate enough that some of the greatest men and women in history have recorded their wisdom and folly in books and journals.

Many others have had their lives chronicled by careful biographers.

from Plutarch to Boswell to Robert Caro.

The literature available at your average library amounts to millions of pages and thousands of years of knowledge, insight, and experience.

Maybe your parents were poor role models or you lacked a great mentor.

Yet if we choose to, we can easily access the wisdom of those who came before us, those whom we aspire to be like.
