Who do you think you’d like to be more like?

Who would you like your spouse or kids to emulate?

Who are your ‘heroes’?

Perhaps you admire someone that has made a lot of money, is a champion athlete, a great business person, or a great performer. The problem is that when you see that individual’s success, you only see one tiny glimpse of who they are.

How often do you hear about a celebrity or someone you admire that’s fallen from grace, and you’re surprised or even disappointed?

Wishing or wanting to be like someone else is a tricky proposition because your judgments are based upon what you think they’re like and not in their reality.

Focusing on only one sliver of an individual distorts your view of the entire picture. It’s like the old adage that if you stand really close to an elephant, you wouldn’t know it’s an elephant because you’d be too close to see the entire animal.

It’s great to admire talented individuals but then turn your attention back on yourself. Develop your own character by working on yourself. Learn to be the hero of your own story.
