You have heard it said, “hitch
your wagon to a star”, if you want to get where you want to go. Aim high.
Be in search of those that have done what you want to do. Role models are the stars that have aimed
high and hit the target. A role model is
a person who others look up to and admire. A role model provides inspiration and stirs up
motivation in others. Role models send messages about
their convictions by what they do and what they say.
Self-Assurance
A role model is self-assured and happy with
themselves. As you nurture a healthy self-esteem,
others will look up to you. Hang
on to your independence; show you don’t need to follow current trends that don't fit with your value system. Maintain your balance. Be proud of who you are, but never cocky or
arrogant.
Manage Stress Positively
Being human means having to constantly deal with
stress and routinely overcome obstacles. A role model sets a good example on how to
handle pressure. Become a pro at handling stress and managing
yourself when the pressure heats up. When you mess up, be quick to
forgive and make note of lessons learned and what you would do differently next time.
Trustworthiness
A revered role model is honest and works at refraining
from exaggeration. Treasure your integrity and do the right
thing even if no one is looking. Trust
in the boomerang theory – what goes around comes around.
Perseverance
Deliver on promises and stay the course even
when overwhelmed and you want to give up. Perseverance is a key character trait. Role models have a track record. They have mastered the art of working hard while working smart for
something worthwhile. Become that someone that inspires dreams
and determination of reaching goals in others.
Show others the way to get where they want to go.
Respect for Others
How
you treat others says it all about who you are. Kindness and courtesy are key ingredients to
showing and receiving respect. True models embrace accountability and responsibility
and never take credit for ideas or solutions that belong to someone else.
Find
a role model and become one. Pass it
forward.
Still
learning,
Honey
