Just as a lighthouse guides ships sailing in the dark sea, you need a guide to lead you to the right path in your voyage of life. Such a guide is often called a role model. If you have a role model, your goals become clearer and you can be more motivated.
However, only having a role model cannot make you accomplish your dreams. Taking action is important. The most obvious way to become a person you want is to imitate your role model. After observing his attitude, words, and way of life, you can speak like him, think like him, and act like him. When faced with a situation where it is difficult to make a decision, you can ask yourself, “What would he do if he is in this situation?” Then, you will get the answer much easily.
American Psychologist William James said, “If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.” Who is your role model? If you want to be like him, try to resemble even one of his small habits. If you repeat it, you will find yourself changed into a being you want at a moment.
