NORTH CAROLINA, USA — November is National Inspirational Role Models Month. When we think of role models, we tend to think of celebrities, athletes, and public figures. But, role models can be an everyday person who you know.
Sometimes, you’re not sure how to figure things out, like how to solve certain problems, or you might feel stuck in life. When you find someone who seems to have their life together or created a life you’d like to have, it’s good to have a role model you can emulate. Someone who gives you hope and shows you a path where you can find your own success, however, you define success.
Here are a few ways to be a good role model. To be a good role model, you must live with integrity, honesty, emotional regulation, and compassion for others. When you make mistakes, you own your fault, fix it, and don’t repeat it. You take pride in your accomplishments but don’t boast in ways that make others feel small. You treat others with respect and kindness.
Sometimes, people see you as a role model because of who you are or what you’ve accomplished, not because it’s something that you wanted for yourself. You’re sometimes designated as a role model without knowing or wanting it. If this is the case, then live your life on your terms. Realize that someone is always watching, though.
