Hi Cynthia – Thanks for your comment, it’s certainly got me thinking!

First, could it be that “Role model” is too generic for reality? It implies that we have to copy what the other person does (and become them), when in fact, we just want to model a certain aspect of that person to allow it to strengthen something we are developing inside us.

And second, I wonder about the difference in effectiveness between a) consciously choosing a role model who looks good on paper and b) being subconsciously drawn to someone who has the qualities we want for ourself.

Hi Reeta: I love what you write. I have always had a hard time answering the question when someone asks me who is a role model to me? I've never really bought into that idea. I've always felt that the my own individuality and sense of self was good enough for now. The funny thing is, I've tried to work with a mentor or role model in the past and it never worked for me. I am a trial and error person though so maybe if I was more willing to be like another, my life path may have been less bumpy. Who knows? Thanks for sharing.
