What does it mean to admire someone? For some, it may mean to look up to someone, respect them for how they go about each day of their life, or even to like a certain trait that they have within them. In my opinion though, I think admiring someone means a combination of all three with adding the fact that we also learn many different lessons from these types of people. With this being said how do we go about finding people that we admire and why is it important.
My Vision for this Blog
In this blog, I am going to share a list of people who I admire and why, how you can become a person other people admire, why it is important to have someone to admire, and provide a preview of a future blog post.
Who do I Admire and Why?
Growing up, some people may describe me as being a introvert because I was quiet,tend to spend more time by myself than with other people, and didn't really express myself in the way that other kids seemed to do so naturally. For me, I learned from others through observation which then helped me to improve and gain the different traits that I wanted to adopt from other people with how they handled different situations. Some of the people I admire include;
- My mom
- My dad
- My sister
- Nick Vujicic
These four people are the ones who inspire me to keep improving and growing into the type of person I want to become in this lifetime for many reasons.
Why do I Admire these People?
Come to think of it, there are tons of reason why these people are a big inspiration to me; but to keep this post short I will list my top three favorite traits I love about each person.
Mom
- Her dedication for always wanting to help other
- Her fun and playful spirit
- Her creativiness with different activities
My mom is by far the biggest person that I admire in the world. Not only does she love helping other people when they need it; but she also puts herself in my shoes to teach me how to cook different meals and deserts with one hand. The next thing I admire about my mom is that she has such a funny and playful personality with everything she does whether it is big or small. It would really take a lot of energy for anyone not to laugh and have fun along with her. The last big thing I love about her is how creative she is when doing different activities. From arts and craft to creating something for he business she has a creative eye for how she imagine things will look. There is so many ways she inspires me, but these three things are the traits I admire her for the most.
Dad
- His Handyman skills to fix just about everything
- His map- like brain to be able to just know where we are at and were we need to go no matter what
- His extrovert personality that allows him to interact with other people with such ease
I have no clue how my dad has done some of the things that just comes naturally for him. My mom and I call him our personal handyman because everything for the most part that needs to be fixed around the house or if we have a vision of, but can't find in the stores he can build it for us with problem. The next thing I admire about him and amazes me is the fact that we can be in the middle of nowhere; but somehow figure out exactly where we are at or which way we need to go without a map. The last thing that I admire him for is his extrovert personality. He is the only person I know who can just start up a conversation with someone and stand there talking with them for hours like they have known each other for years or the fact that he walks into Walmart and knows almost all the workers by name. It just amazes me how he can do all these things with such ease.
Audrey
- Her unique personality
- Her extrovert personality
- Her imagination ans drawing skills
My sister, Audrey has been another big person that inspires me. The top reason I admire her so much is because of her unique personality that keeps things fun and interesting. She is like one big walk meme that always knows how to make us laugh. The next thing I admire about her is her extrovert personality. No matter where she was at, no one was ever a stranger to her which allowed her to touch so many people while she was here. The last thing I admire about her is her imagination and drawing skills. From a young age she could draw these in depth pictures that looked professional in which some we thought she traced on the computer when she actually looked at it and hand drew it. I myself have started drawing Caricatures which are funny big headed cartoons because drawing was her favorite this and it brings me joy and closer to her.
I am still learning, but here are some of my drawings
Nick Vujicic
Even though I have never met him in person, I love that he
- Always tries his hardest to accomplish tasks without giving up
- His positive way of thinking
- His courage to get up on stage infront of hundrends of thousands of people to do his talks
The first time I learned who is was I was in 9th grade and my social studies teacher stopped what she was teaching because some of the other students were complaining about having to do the work so she pulled up YouTube and put on a video of him climbing a mountain to teach us to not make excuses.
These are just a few of the many many reasons why I admire these people; but how do we get to the point of being the person that other people admire?
How to Become the Person Other People Admire
I will admit that for the longest time when people said "I admire you" I would of coarse say" thank you"; but deep down I asked myself over and over again how I am I person that other people admire. In my eyes I just looked at myself as an ordinary person just living life with no real hidden talents. Later though, as I went through a self discovery I realize that this was far from true. I actually have many different talents, traits, and skills that are admirable. Once I looked deeper inside myself I realized that if I wanted to be a person who admires me that I just have to be myself.
Why is it Important to Have Someone we admire in our life?
Did you know that by hanging out, joining a group, or following someone that we admire actually helps us grow, learn,and inspires us to become our best version of ourselves. More recently I joined a few groups on Facebook to interact with people that have similar interests as me. One is a hiking and adventure group in North Georgia close to where I live and the second one is a drawing group. Both of these groups are full of people that are
- Fun spirited
- Encouraging
- Positive
- Curious
- Enjoy the small moments in life
- And overall make up an enjoyable community
By engaging with other people like this I feel more motivated and inspired to keep working towards the goals I have for life.
What am I Planning for a Future blog post?
ome of you guys have probably heard of or seen some of Nick Vujic( an American - Australian motivational speaker who was born with no arms or legs) videos or talks. Back when we were just a few weeks into Alyssa-bilities I tried to get in contact with him; but didn't get any response. Today I am trying at my second attempt of contacting him to see if he was interested in me interviewing him for Alyssa-bilities. I haven't gotten a response back yet , but I am setting my intension that he will get my email and if he is interested then having an interview with him as a future blog post.
Conclusion
Having someone in your life that you admire whether you know them in person or not can help you dig dip within yourself to see what type person you want to be, what traits you would like to have, and the type of people we hang out with on a daily basis. The people in my life helped me in learning different approaches to handling situations, discover my hidden talents, and has motivated me to accomplish my goals. As we go through this week, I want you to ask yourself who you admire and why?
