Its not difficult Sravna.
Let me share with you my thoughts.
Do I want to be like anyone?
No.
Reason is because I need to go beyond being myself too eventually and aspiring to be like another is just adding layers to my pre existing karma.

So is there any role model for me?
No.
No role model because that might just make a person a clone of another.
But at the same time we learn by observing ..from our parents to siblings, children,teachers..friends, religious figures,gurus swamijis etc..we learn from all directions.
From some people I observed good qualities..so that I absorb though I need not imitate them.
From some people I observed unpleasant qualities..from them I learnt how not to be like them.

That's why all we can be is grateful to God for experiences we face though some might be very unpleasant.

We all come to this world to weave patterns in the tapestry of existence.
We observe past patterns yet we weave our own story only to go beyond that some day.
