Model - becoming a role model by means of your spiritual qualities

03/17/2026

Human beings need role models. When they see someone who is their superior, they want to be just like them. So, if your superiority consists in having more money, more power or more glory, you are not a very good role model. Why? Because you are leading people down a path that inevitably drives them to dominate, humiliate and supplant others. Whereas, if your superiority stems from your spiritual qualities—kindness, wisdom, self-control, nobility, generosity, purity and selflessness—not only will you sense that they truly belong to you and enable you to rise above difficult circumstances, moreover, you will help those wanting to follow your example to choose the right path and find happiness. The whole world needs role models, but not models of material success. They need examples that will lead them to an awareness of their own true wealth, the wealth hidden in their heart, soul and spirit.
