ELISHA`S ELIJAH

The most exciting way to die is to jump off water cliffs in whose waters you have never stood. This is because you have no idea whether they are deep or shallow enough for you. This is a page on the same book as a homeless virgin getting refuge, a home, in a brothel! Couldn`t be any safer, could it? Sit tight. I`m about to end this paragraph in a banger! Have you read from me that a goat does not leave a lion`s den alive? I lied. It can. If it is friends with the tiger and walked in with the tiger. This article is about tigers.

Mentorship is a fundamental pillar in a society. This concept has existed for as long as boys have been horny. I don`t believe in passing up the chance to cheat if you can. Mentorship is a cheat code to life. The Western man says that it is only a fool that learns through his mistakes, and a wise one learns through those of others. Our ancestors had mentorship. Only that it was tough mentorship. When your clansman boarded a ship and never returned, you were mentored never to get on one, whatever means whatsoever!

Princes have been moulded into kings throughout history. They even received education designed for them to be rulers. In the Bible, Elisha was mentored by Elijah, so that he could take over. In the same Holy Scriptures, David was mentored by King Saul, only that it was the tough way. Definitely not with good intent, but it was mentorship. What doesn`t kill you makes you stronger! No? We are better off learning from the forces of the universe be it through people or even circumstances. Whether negative or positive, the scoreboard remains indifferent as long as it keeps changing.

We are the generation with a gift that is often a curse. Exposure, through social media, and now Artificial Intelligence tools such as ChatGPT. This is a gift in that it gives you exposure to what is possible for you in your lifetime. The only curse is our reaction to live in an illusion. One characterised by sentiments like: “Itajipa”, “Kutoka block ni must”. It doesn`t matter how much success porn you consume. No one ever got an orgasm by just watching porn!! Oh, oops. There`s Kinuthia. The point is all the same, you ain`t getting nowhere if you ain`t doing shit! Not just that, you gotta be doing it right. And that is why you need a Mentor!!

You have idols that you think you look upto. A lot of them are not accessible to you. The first step to finding a mentor is looking at who`s the closest to you who is doing what you would love to do. You want to establish a multi-billion chain store, how about you first work for the businessperson that started a kiosk and now owns a mini market. You want to write as well as I do? Try making friends with the literature lecturer, yk. The most amazing thing is that a chunk of your idols that are inaccessible to you, have made themselves so through their biographies and autobiographies. Read, and learn. This way, you walk in the light. Just don`t read from people that haven`t done what they`re writing about. They should have their money where their mouth is. If you were interested in stories, you already know of my blog. Don`t you?
