Do you have a role model?

Is there someone that you look up to or try to emulate?

When you’re looking at someone as a role model, you’re more than likely admiring the results they’ve created for themselves.

If you ask people about role models, many will rattle off the names of famous people, yet the majority of the best role models will be everyday people that very few people have heard of.

Having a role model can be wonderful, but it can also be tricky. Once you see someone in a particular light, you tend to focus on their one or two outstanding traits that you admire. However, if they falter in other areas of their life, it can be disheartening for you.

Modeling another person’s behavior is also extremely tricky and almost impossible because their genetic makeup is unique. However, you can find ways to create similar results in your life by watching them and leveraging your unique traits.

Choose your role models carefully, and don’t forget their journeys are always different than yours. And keep in mind that you, too, someday might have the responsibility of being a role model for someone else.
