We all need mentors.
We all need help.

As a high school academic counselor for many years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside students as they navigate the maze of high school and transition into college, trade school, the military, or the workforce. It’s been a powerful journey, one that’s taught me just as much about myself as it has about others.

If there’s one truth I’ve learned, it’s this: no one is meant to do life alone.

Life is complex, and the path forward isn’t always clear. That’s why education, mentorship, and guidance are so essential. Whether it comes from a trusted teacher, a life coach, a wise family member, or a powerful book, guidance can make all the difference.

We’re living in an incredible time.
The wisdom of the ages is literally at our fingertips.
The once mythical Library of Alexandria now lives in our pockets, in the form of smartphones, podcasts, and online libraries. What a gift.

If you’re struggling, if you’re uncertain, overwhelmed, or simply in need of direction, seek help. Find a mentor, living or long gone. Learn from their stories. Let their wisdom shape your next step.

Because in the end, it doesn’t matter where the wisdom comes from.
What matters is that you’re open to receiving it. That you apply it.
That you grow.
