Yes -- I will never forget when I heard Maxwell say that over 2 years ago. I listened to it over and over again, b/c it was also so impactful for me. Yeah, it's not always easy. And it's just like the flipchart at Brandon's events, are we going to make decisions based on Principle or Circumstance? It's simple ... which way are we going to go with our important decision(s)? Personally, I now know that at times of decision, there was a lot more on the line than I could see. And I can see it all looking back (just like Steve Jobs says). Thanks for your comment :) Good luck! Hey Devan – thanks for your comment. Yes — I will never forget when I heard Maxwell say that over 2 years ago.

Yeah, it’s not always easy. And it’s just like the flipchart at Brandon’s events, are we going to make decisions based on Principle or Circumstance? It’s simple … which way are we going to go with our important decision(s)?

Thanks for your comment :)

Good luck!

In the past and now even more I've been able to recognize truth, and 'make an important decision', and I'm very blessed in this way. How challenging it's proving to be though, to 'manage these decisions' and live out the truth I've been so moved by and sure of.

Thanks for your comments. I feel the same way. And it's such a healthy light to put things in (thanks for putting that). In terms of just taking the lesson, and leaving the resentment behind. That can be an obstacle to overcome (it was for me). It also helps me so just how human I am too. And that's part of this whole thing. Is how much can we forgive and have some care? We all mess up. And that's another great lesson too! Hi Christine! Thanks for your comments. I feel the same way. And it’s such a healthy light to put things in (thanks for putting that).

And that’s part of this whole thing. Is how much can we forgive and have some care? We all mess up.

And that’s another great lesson too!

It's all based on results - even the results of their students! That's such a great explanation. Now I'm thinking about my teachers and mentors... I've learned something from everyone I've taken a course with! I've seen a lot of these guys behind the scenes, and they are human, just like the rest of us. They aren't perfect either. They have ego. I could choose to resent some of my teachers based on things I've seen them do behind the scenes, but where would that get me? No where. I am in gratitude to the lessons and gifts that each of them have shared with me... even the lessons that came from watching them backstage!!! Great article Kyle.

I can certainly relate to your experiences, having "invested" in a number of mentors myself. I would argue that they've all seved me, if not the way I expected, but in the lessons learned though. Certainly the personal development or self improvement world has a wide range of gurus who provide varying levels of results for their followers - it's also largely dependant on the actual follow through of the participant. That said, I've found that some certainly deliver more practical value with tangible results, and that's why I strive to sift through the noise so I can direct people where I think they're most likely to come away with their desired outcome. Excellent post Kyle!
