YOUR ROLE MODEL- Part 1

Key scripture- Proverbs 13: 20

We take a look at who a Mentor is before a Role Model…

Mentor- A wise and trusted counselor or a teacher.

Role model- A person whose behavior example or success is or can be emulated by others, especially by younger people. Proverbs 22:1

Role models are important. They help us become the person we want to be and inspire us to make a difference. Choosing wisely means that you will be positively influenced and encourage to be the best person possible. Before you choose a role model you have to evaluate yourself; identify your bad habits or negative aspects of your personality, make a list of the key characteristics that you want to achieve and build your confidence and identify all your best characteristics.

·         IDENTIFY ALL YOUR BEST CHARACTERISTICS: What are your strengths?  What do you do well? These are the characteristics that you want to nourish and hold on to but not necessarily the ones you would want to look for in a role model. Ponder your strengths and develop and image of who you are and who you want to be.

·         IDENTIFY YOUR BAD HABITS OR NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF YOUR PERSONALITY: These are things you do not like or want to change about yourself and are important in determining how you wish to change.

·         MAKE A LIST OF THE KEY CHARACTERISTICS THAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE: Do you want to live in a certain way? Achieve something in particular? Become a certain kind of person? Make a list of the things you want to achieve, both as a person and in your life.

·         BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE: As you start to consider how you can choose a role model, try to develop faith in yourself as a person. The goal of choosing a role model is to motivate you to become a better person. You must have confidence in yourself and your abilities to become whoever you wish to be.

NB: After all this things then you become the light of the world. Matthew 5:14
