I want to be like my father in the future. What would he be called?
Not something like inspiration / motivation There is a word for this, right? Thanks a lot for helping.. ^^
Solution 1:
The word you could be looking for might be idol, or possibly role model.
idol: a person or thing that is greatly admired, loved, or revered.
role model: a person looked to by others as an example to be imitated.
