Of course. But see, "being yourself" isn't necessarily a "just" situation: If being yourself includes self-betterment, growth, progress, intellectual expansion, emotional maturity, learning, passion, striving towards humility, honesty, steadfastness.... .. then over time, you become someone worthy of emulation. I believe you may think "being yourself" = No Change. But I'm seeing "being yourself" as: Working on yourself with an eye towards being a better you than you were yesterday, NOT with an end-goal of becoming a role model for others, but for becoming the best you that you can possibly be. From that strengthened CORE, exudes role-model-worthiness.
