Day 9 - Who do you look up to? Why?

I don't really have one person that I look up to... I don't really know why but I've never had that one hero. Maybe it's because nobody is perfect and if don't believe anyone is better or worse than anyone else. We should learn to accept and appreciate everyone for who they are, and not praise one particular person or type of people.

In saying that, there are a LOT of people I consider role models and look to for different things in life. For people that actually know, the people I look up to are:

1. My parents 
2. My grandparents
2. My older cousins
3. People i know who are really strong and have endured a lot of pain
4. Everyday heroes- kind, generous people who live for others. 
5. People who are ambitious and work hard to get where they are in life.

Then in terms of famous/significant people, a few are:

1. Nick Vujicic (not sure if that's how it's spelt haha but he's this guy that was born without arms and legs and he's so inspirational)

2. Miranda kerr (I used to look at her and just want to lose weight so I could have her bod, but now I see that she advocates self-confidence no matter your size etc)
3. Jennifer Lawrence (she's just awesome and sassy and great!)
4. People like nelson Mandela and Martin Luther king
5. Robyn Lawley (she's a plus size model from Australia and she's happy in her body and so beautiful)


6. Anyone who has recovered from an eating disorder (izzy from lifewithoutanorexia has been an inspiration to me in particular)

I'm always looking for more to join this list so if anyone actually reads this post, comment who you look up to! Have a great day :)
