Another word for envy

The word envy has a negative element attached to it ie. A feeling of displeasure at someone's achievement or possessions.

I'm looking for a single word which means to strongly yearn for someone else's achievement but without wanting it to be stripped off them. "I wish I could be like that TOO"

I did find a word for it, but can't find it now, despite searching extensively.

Hope someone can help

When you admire someone enough, they become your role model. You might then emulate them.
