Influence Lives
BY STANLEY C LOEWEN | PSYCHOLOGY | RATING:
When we were younger, most of us looked up to someone. For the majority of us that would mean our parents, but on top of that it wasn't unusual to also find ourselves looking up to heroes on television and in films. Maybe we wanted to be Arnold Schwarzenegger or Optimus Prime or Britney Spears. These were figures who seemed to embody everything that we thought was good, all of the ideal traits that we would like to be able to possess for ourselves, and the kind of life that we would one day want to live.
Of course there were hundreds of great role models out there and there are countless examples of successful thinkers, artists, athletes, singers, writers and more for us to aspire to. For some reason though these people stood out among the crowd and were the ones that we really took notice of and tried to emulate. Perhaps we sensed a kindred spirit, or perhaps they reminded us of one of our parents. Either way, once the role models were chosen, this would become a long – sometimes even lifelong fascination that we would take into adulthood.
But is a role model always a good thing? Is it something that's more applicable to children? And how do you go about choosing your role models and influencing who your children look up to?
Hope this helps :-)
