How to Rate Your Role Model!
The most important single influence in the life of a person \ris another person... Who is worthy of emulation. - Paul D. \rShafer
Today there are so many people in all fields of life with the \rpower to influence; we are literally spoilt for choice. With a \rsmorgasbord of potential role models there exists no \rguidelines for choosing wisely a person of true worth to \robserve and follow.
In modern times a role model reflects diversity both in \rcharacter and skill, their standard of living is measured \ragainst their drive to succeed. When we choose to emulate \ra person our values and actions are directly related to them, \rtherefore it is relevant to reflect upon our role models and \rtheir quality of standards.
Reputation alone will not positively influence development in \rpeople those with impact must inspire us!
To decide on a suitable and empowering mentor that best \rembodies your goals and beliefs it is useful to consider the \rfollowing criteria.
1. Does this person represent healthy habits?
A role model should encompass the best attributes of both \remotional and physical health.
2. Is this person confident in developing relationships \rthrough quality people skills?
The art of conversation and the ability to charm others helps \rus to network and build success socially and professionally.
3. Do they seem balanced and show an understanding for \rtheir emotions?
Our well-being relies heavily on how we relate to ourselves. \rWhen we embrace both positive and negative emotions our \rexperiences equip us with new wisdom for handling more \rof lifes challenges.
4. Is there a strong sense of self with this person, do they \rcelebrate their individuality?
Being unique is a human quality that generates confidence \rand sets us apart from one another.
5. Is this person relentless in their pursuit of \rself-improvement through a continuous desire to learn?
Wisdom is not attained but grows with new experience and \runderstanding, it is therefore an endless endeavour that \rmust be pursued if we are to broaden our perspective and \rawareness of our world.
6. Is this person well spoken?
We improve our relations and communication through \raccurate expression of ourselves. It is the aptitude for \relegance of speech that gives meaning to our words and \radvocacy from inspiration.
7. How thoughtful is your role model? Do they analyse their \ractions for consequence and show creativity to encourage \rinitiative?
Authenticity teaches us to value our artistic abilities and \rhonour our passions with purpose. It is also important for \rour personal growth to be responsible to others and \rourselves.
8. Does this person teach you the value of a realistic \runderstanding of our world?
The ability to observe and assess the truths of our world \rhonestly and without judgement, affords us the insight to \rstart implementing strategies to positively impact our lives.
A quality role model never places limitations on themselves; \rinstead they embrace feelings of connection, worthiness, \rcontribution, accomplishment, playfulness, balance and \rtranquillity.
Observing others is an invaluable practise for developing \rdirection in our lives and if you want to become your best \rthen consider your mentors wisely!
Very few men are wise by their own counsel, or learned by \rtheir own teaching. For he that was only taught by himself \rhad a fool for a master. Ben Johnson
With good guidance may you all find inspiration and \rpassion in life.
