Why Mentors Matter: Turning Hindsight into Foresight

John Maxwell Quote:

You’ve likely heard the age-old adage, “Hindsight is 20/20.” Meaning, clarity often comes after a decision is made. But what if we could have that same clarity before a decision is made? This is why having a mentor is so important.

A mentor, simply put, is someone further along on the same path as you. If you lead in a workplace setting, a mentor might be someone who has worked at your company longer. If you are the leader of your family, a mentor could be someone who has been married or raised kids longer than you. By learning from their mistakes and successes, you gain insights that help you navigate your own journey.

Yes, hindsight is 20/20. But through mentorship, foresight can be 20/20 too.

Who in your life has walked a similar path to yours? What can you learn from their experiences?
