You probably need someone to look up to

Do you have someone to look up to?

Many people reject this idea of following someone out of autonomy. Beliving what you know and what you think about the world is good until you completely stop listening to others. As children we used to have role models, and were asked to have role models. Did having a role model ever impact any child negatively? if not for many it impacted quite well in their lives. In making school decisions, making friends to life changing career decisions when you grow up. Having someone to get inpiration from is very much necessary for growth.

To the person you look up to, if you can copy the skills, the vision and the style of the person you look up to and then very importantly personalize it to make it your own by mixing it with your current self - then you can easily grow exponentially get on the same page with that person or even go beyond what you or them could ever think of.
If you actually do, tell them that you looked up to them and be grateful for that.

Are there levels to it?

On first thought it feels like a hierarchy. You look up to your teacher, you get on the same page and then you look up to someone else that is much more skilled and better. These people may conincidentally line up with the levels of skill, levels of rich or levels of influence but there is no causality to it.

What I’m trying to say is even Elon Musk can look up to a beggar if that beggar is good at something elon isn’t. There are no levels to it, no discriminations. Looking up to someone is in a way a form of respect and love that needs no boundaries

Whom should you look up to?

To lookup to someone you have to open yourself up to be influenced. In the times we live in it has bad vibes to it I know but that is how we work. To find that person you need to follow them, understand them, and realize that you relate to them the most. And once you do, you almost become them. This happens naturally but the intent should be there to grow an dbe open to grow.
