Role Models

Who is the ultimate Role Model - Jesus- he loved unconditionally- was perfect in everyway - helped those who needed it- compassionate more then words can say- cared about all- He made the ultimate sacrifice for you and me. He teaches us the way to live life-
He is my role model-
I also have earthly role models as well- not going to name them here but they mean so much-

Marcus has quite a few role models too- that is why I am writing the post- I have mentioned them on here several times - from church - to school - to track- to family- he has great role models in his life- I have been thinking about this often so I thought I would write about it today

I took some excerpts from an article and this is how I feel about the role models in our life (not idols role models- there is a difference)

Role models are encountered in every aspect of life. A role model is basically someone whose behavior in a particular role can be and is emulated by others. Role models are considered that according to their successes or the example they display in their values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors. People usually seek positive role models to follow and imitate.

A role model does not have to be the highest official in the land, or the most acclaimed surgeon, actor or writer. A role model can be just about anyone who carries out a role in such a manner that causes someone to desire to be just like that person. Everyone has goals and aspirations and so we look for someone who has accomplished or is accomplishing what we want to do and we imitate that person. This imitation makes the person our role model.

Role models provide the incentive that people need to achieve their goals. They also provide patterns of behavior that can serve as a guide for the people who really want to be like them. Role models serve as encouragement to those who would otherwise see a goal as unreachable. Additionally, role models positively influence the lives of others, giving them values and ideals that they can emulate.

I am truly thankful for those in our lives that are our role models- God has truly blessed us with many - thank you all for being a part of our family
