Mentor

I had lunch with my mentor today and it is always great to see her and feel validated in what I do. Sometimes as a Director of a nonprofit you get zero credit and all the work... that is why I am in it for the good work that we do for our community's youth so I am definitely not in it for the glory so when you get praise from someone you respect it feels really good.
Although sometimes I think I have delusions of grandeur. I feel like I am in the wrong business because I am narcissitic and want the praise, glory and fame associated with money and power. But that often subsides and I remember that I want to change the world and feeding the whores of power isn't going to help me change the world. I believe that I can change the world. I really do. Don't you?
