"The most important single influence in the life of a person
is another person... Who is worthy of emulation." - Paul D.
ShaferToday there are so many people in all fields of life with the
power to influence; we are literally spoilt for choice. With a
smorgasbord of potential role model's there exists no
guidelines for choosing wisely a person of true worth to
observe and follow.In modern times a role model reflects diversity both in
character and skill, their standard of living is measured
against their drive to succeed. When we choose to emulate
a person our values and actions are directly related to them,
therefore it is relevant to reflect upon our role models and
their quality of standards.Reputation alone will not positively influence development in
people those with impact must inspire us!To decide on a suitable and empowering mentor that best
embodies your goals and beliefs it is useful to consider the
following criteria.1. Does this person represent healthy habits?A role model should encompass the best attributes of both
emotional and physical health.2. Is this person confident in developing relationships
through quality people skills?The art of conversation and the ability to charm others helps
us to network and build success socially and professionally.3. Do they seem balanced and show an understanding for
their emotions?Our well-being relies heavily on how we relate to ourselves.
When we embrace both positive and negative emotions our
experiences equip us with new wisdom for handling more
of life's challenges.4. Is there a strong sense of self with this person, do they
celebrate their individuality?Being unique is a human quality that generates confidence
and sets us apart from one another.5. Is this person relentless in their pursuit of
self-improvement through a continuous desire to learn?Wisdom is not attained but grows with new experience and
understanding, it is therefore an endless endeavour that
must be pursued if we are to broaden our perspective and
awareness of our world.6. Is this person well spoken?We improve our relations and communication through
accurate expression of ourselves. It is the aptitude for
elegance of speech that gives meaning to our words and
advocacy from inspiration.7. How thoughtful is your role model? Do they analyse their
actions for consequence and show creativity to encourage
initiative?Authenticity teaches us to value our artistic abilities and
honour our passions with purpose. It is also important for
our personal growth to be responsible to others and
ourselves.8. Doe's this person teach you the value of a realistic
understanding of our world?The ability to observe and assess the truths of our world
honestly and without judgement, affords us the insight to
start implementing strategies to positively impact our lives.A quality role model never places limitations on themselves;
instead they embrace feelings of connection, worthiness,
contribution, accomplishment, playfulness, balance and
tranquillity.Observing others is an invaluable practise for developing
direction in our lives and if you want to become your best
then consider your mentors wisely!"Very few men are wise by their own counsel, or learned by
their own teaching. For he that was only taught by himself
had a fool for a master." – Ben JohnsonWith good guidance may you all find inspiration and
passion in life.For more information email: karinga22@optushome.com.auInga Yandell, is an internationally recognized performance
