A guiding light is like a coach or a mentor. It’s an important mission, and of course, you will no doubt meet several of those people in the course of your life. It’s critical to you and your future to choose them wisely. A mentor, for instance, is someone to whom you commit a great deal of time and attention, and who, ideally, will take a very focused interest in you as well. That’s what he’ll do, and he or she will be able to help you overcome any challenge.
The process of finding your “guiding light”, it begins first of all with a clear-sighted view of what your life’s goals are and what you should be, both from a career and personal life; not just something that you take lightly but something that you think through. If you’re starting, for instance, as an associate in a job, you might want to choose the person who’s the most qualified in that business to become that “guiding light” for you. Selecting a mentor as a “guiding light” is not just a matter of finding someone you like or feel comfortable identifying with; make sure that this person knows how do you choose or that their genuine history shows success, that they’ve helped other people.
