Even grown-ups need role models to look up to. They are yet another way we can help focus our mind toward what we want to become. If you find that you need to develop some specific character trait, choose some iconic person who you think exemplifies that trait, and use him or her as a model. Your brain will respond well to this because the human brain contains many thousand mirror cells, which allow you to learn easily just by watching others yoga practice. So if you need more courage, you might focus on Amelia Earhart. Or, if you want to exhibit more selflessness toward others, learn all about Mother Teresa.
You might read Ilchi Lee biography or watch a documentary about the person. Let your hero’s life become a metaphor by which you live your own life, and your own greatness will be ignited within your brain.
