With Purpose Success, part 71

Mentoring programs come in many forms, and there is a place for you.

I guarantee it. "At any one point in time, I have three, or four, or five people that I am acting as a mentor for," says Deepak Chopra. "And 

I listen to them mostly. I listen to what's going on in their life, what's going on with their friendships, in their relationships. To be a mentor you need to understand what's going on in a person's life and you just want to have an internal dialogue that says, "How can I help? Because 

I really care."

When I asked Jill Godsey, marketing director of Big Brothers Big Sisters, how a person could tell if they were cut out to be a mentor, it was almost as though she didn't understand the question. "Do you like to watch movies?" she responded. "Do you like to play video games? Do you enjoy shooting hoops? Those are the kinds of things that our Big 

Brothers and Sisters do with their Little Brothers and Sisters. It is simple and fun, in addition to rewarding."
