A BLESSING THAT LASTS THREE LIFETIMES
Everyone is a role model. The only question is whether they are a good or bad one.
Good role models are a blessing that lasts three lifetimes. Their positive effect is passed on to the next two generations.
Following a positive role model is my apprenticeship for life. When I stand shoulder to shoulder with them, I adopt their positive beliefs. When I rejoice with them in their victories and cry with them in their defeats, I practice life as it really is. When I get up with them after they have been knocked down, I develop championship resilience, and I transplant their empowering beliefs into my mind.
Many role models who had a positive impact on my life never knew they made a difference. They gave me inspiration and carried me through difficult times.
I never know who is watching as I live my dreams; nevertheless, I know that others are watching. They aren’t trying to catch me stubbing my toe; they are looking for inspiration and hope. They hope that I am the one who will become their role model and show them the way. I am their hero, and it’s important that I don’t let them down.
My life will have an impact on many people whom I will never know. I want that impact to be positive. Their lives will be better because I passed this way. I will make a positive difference in their life.
