You can easily only be sucked into relationships that get you somewhere, rather than genuinely being bought into a true mentor relationship. I know I have been guilty of this from time to time. If we are limited on time, then those relationships that can get us places and build us up are the ones that we tend to focus on, right?
Here’s why that doesn’t always work…
We become followers of others more often than we invite others around us to be great.
Don’t get me wrong, as leaders we need to be fed because if we keep pouring out into others, then we have to fill ourselves back up. That is why it is so important to spend alone time everyday building our strengths. But, there is definitely the time where we need to build others up. It makes everyone better.
Don’t forget to invite someone else to be great today.
Being intentional in relationships is so important. I’m at the point in my life and my ministry where I try to invest in relationships that will grow both parties, not just one. Great post man.
Thanks for always reading and posting man!
Thank you for the reminder! I am very fortunate to be a part of both a mentor group and a small group that I lead, so I am very blessed to be able to feed others while being fed.
That’s awesome Scott!
