during school times, many of us must have been asked about our role models, about what we what to become, and who inspires us for that thing. and so, we must as children have answered taking names of big personalities, like Mahatma Gandhi, Kalpana Chawla, Sachin Tendulkar, P T Usha and so on. many of us must also have included our parents and grand parent's names or some elder brother or sister or any super successful person in our family, or anyone.
those young minds of ours were very manipulative, we were attracted to every new thing we see, we wanted to be doctors, astronauts, pilots, and all that we can think of as a child. but as we grow, we get to know more, more about things we were so attracted to be, we get to know the ups and downs of life, we get to get all sorts of experiences, even as a new young adult, one may have experienced heartbreaks, demotivation, lack of inspiration, anxiety, loneliness and being stuck in this maze, we nearly forget how excited we were a child to be adult and to be something, how authentically we would stand and let our teacher know who our role model is.
we should never let all this chaos kill our inner self, let our inner wisdom help us to see the outer wisdom. this will help us to find our real role models right around us, like mountains, trees, ants, the sun, birds, fishes, and many more. they teach us to stand tall and strong, to never be afraid of failures, that it's okay to fall, they teach us to face every situation with enthusiasm and most importantly they teach us to stay true and dedicated to our goals.
role models are more about inspiration, and it's good to have people who have done so much, achieved so much, as our role models, but being in the chaos, these small inspirations would help you a lot to work for those big inspirations of yours. even if they may not show you the path, they will definitely help you choose the right one.
It's always from a caterpillar in its small cocoon to a butterfly making a living in this world. see, even this inspires us! so just look around, you will definitely get the motivation and inspiration to choose the path to follow and achieve what's out there waiting for you.
