Gather your tribe!

“If you have one person you’re influenced by, everyone will say you’re the next whoever. But if you rip off a hundred people, everyone will say you’re so original!”

Who do you admire?  These people could be living or not.  Gathering the list of who you admire is a very fun exercise.  The next step is to identify why you admire them – or what about them you find most intriguing.

When you have your list of the qualities and actions you admire, look for duplications and trends.  Group like qualities together – they no longer have to be associated with the name of the person.

Look through your list of desirable, admirable qualities and rank order them by asking yourself which qualities would have the most positive influence on your life.  What quality would have the greatest impact on a daily, weekly or monthly basis?

Start with the first on your list and practice, incorporate and play-act that quality for 30 days.  A great way to emulate the quality is to ask yourself – how would (insert person you admire who has that quality) act or handle this situation?  After your 30 days, take some time to reflect on how the incorporation has gone and how your life is enhanced.  If you need another 30 days to practice, go right ahead.  If you’ve got this down, go onto the next quality on the list.

Who do you admire?  What would you like to add to your list of qualities?  What would you like others to think about you?  Leave your comments below.
