There’s a wonderful quote attributed to comedienne Lily Tomlin in which she said, “We’re all in this alone.”
There are certainly times when we’ve all felt, currently feel, or will probably feel this way a few times down the road. But, it’s only true in the sense that you alone control the choices you make and you direct your responses to things that are beyond your control.
Many Hands Hold Your Heart
However, many hands have played a role in helping you take a stand and walk the path you’re currently stumbling or strutting. Many points of view have factored into your focus, many encouraging voices have boosted your self-esteem, many informed thinkers have influenced your decisions and increased your knowledge, and many loving arms have helped to shape your caring, compassionate heart.
In fact, there is likely a handful, or heart full, of mentors that have prompted you to sing out, speak up, stand tall, take risks, be brave, step up, and never settle for less than success.
Master Mentors
The need for a core group of master mentors lasts a lifetime because you should never stop growing, learning, and refining the grand design of your success as a singer, singer-songwriter, singing musician, motivational speaker, spokesperson, broadcast journalist – whatever your choice for using the voice to make a difference.

Identify Existing Mentors
Take time to sit down and identify the teachers, coaches, and key influential people that have served as mentors in helping you find your voice, your walk, your stand, your place, and your dreams.
These are people that have had, and likely still have, the greatest impact to inspire and encourage in you a sense of commitment and self-discipline, along with the desire to continue to get better, become wiser, and grow stronger. The best mentors always find a way to motivate you, no matter how demanding or seemingly impossible the situation, or how inadequate or hopeless you think you are.
Affirm Influence + Impact
After identifying those people that have been and still are your mentors, make note of the key points of impact they’ve had and have on your life and career pursuits. Then, affirm each of your mentors by thanking them personally in some way.
It can be via a phone call, a text, a card or note, or a visit. Thanks can also be expressed through prayer or just by thinking positive thoughts about them. It can be expressed through dedicating a song or performance, or by writing a song or pulling together some creative tribute in their honor. Depending on your unique path, your mentors can be referenced in public speaking engagements, talent competitions, and pageants.
