I don't have a role model
I greet you all and wishing you the best of the weekend.
We are on the last episode of week 30 on the weekly featured contest in Hive Learners community.
We are talking about Role Model.
Just like we all know, a role model is someone we are striving to be like or someone that his or her lifestyle is worth emulating.
Some would choose musical artists as their role model because they want to live like the artist; splashing money, chop life and trend as a celebrity while some would choose an activist or a motivational speaker because they like the way they fight for people and how they get motivated by such person's word to keep striving.
We all have different reasons for choosing a particular person as a role model.
What if I tell you that I don't have a role model?

This is where I find myself differentiated from a lot of people, I'm among those(if it's not only me) that are living their lives without looking on a particular human as a role model. I know you're asking "WHY?" and probably pointing at my dad or mom already🤗.
**✨REASONS: **
STRIVING TO BE GREATER
As far as I know, a role model is someone we are striving to be like or to adopt how he/she pushed to the limit the person is currently. That's to say, we are aiming to settle at where they settled.
Well, settling at the stage Elon Musk is currently is not bad, but I don't see anything wrong going farther than him.
Some are dreaming to settle at the sky where their role models are but what if you make the sky your starting point? I'm sure you've heard of "the sky is my starting point"
Sorry to cheap in a little religious talk here, remember Jesus said that we are permitted to do the works that he did and greater works also... I'm not even dreaming to be like Jesus but to be greater than Him. Is not possible? Lol🤣.
CR7 and Messi are good to be taken as role models to a sport person but I want to be more than them🤗.
My dad is very good in his way especially on how he's accommodative but I want to be greater than him.
No one has it all! What if I assemble all the high profiled people and tap different 'anointing' from them?🤣
HUMANS ARE HUMANS!
Having a role model means these people live in your heart because you trust their ways. But humans are humans and we are prone to mistakes and also get our heart soured.
"Most" of these people we idolize as role models are secretly into one "funny thing" you wouldn't like once you find out. What if you finds out that your all time billionaire role mode is into money rituals with 1year old babies? That's just a tip of iceberg.
Honestly, I don't have a role model, I live my life by myself striving to be greater than anybody and all these prominent People. Yes, I can do it!
I just played out my heart with words. No offense please 🙌
Thanks for reading
You are right. Everyone is striving to be perfect because we can't be the best in all things. It would be painful when we realize someone we are emulating has something in secret they are doing.
Since yesterday, I have been trying to come up with a role model but I found out I don't even have until I choose someone out of many 😅😅😅
One thing about me is that I don't like the term —role model but to strive to become greater and better.
Having q role model doesn't necessarily mean you will stop at their level. A role model is someone whose footstep you will love to imitate but at the same time aspire to be better than.
The impact of a role model in one's life cannot be overemphasised, same as mentor.
