When one shines with full will, one stands out and appears noble. What does shining mean in real terms? How to shine? Do I shine or just seem to shine before everyone. Shining means to feel good in yourself and not hiding the feeling. Even if surrounded by people not very likely to be nice to you. Sometimes, people just make a spectacle of this feeling by not paying attention to the actual meaning behind the idea or how it feels to do so. This whole thing just turns into something boast-y in the end, while the main reason to shine is to feel how it is to be imperial and noble. Now for the people wanting to shine must know that they decide what they do and what happens to them. Here are some tips to shine the best you can. 🌟

Move away from:

1. Feeling victimized and stuck. You’re only stuck if you let yourself be stuck. There are both conscious and subconscious beliefs and mindsets that hold us hostage. Figure out what stops you from taking an action that you know you need to take. If you keep doing the same thing over and over, you’ll never bring about any positive change.

2. Thinking that you don’t have what it takes. We often stop ourselves from a better life and career because we believe we’re lacking or incomplete – that we don’t have what others possess to be happy. This mindset confirms that you’ll stop yourself from going out and getting what you want. No one “has what it takes” at the beginning of a journey – we acquire what’s required by taking action through that journey.

3. Blaming the outside world for what you aren’t doing. It’s not the outside world that is keeping you where you are. You have to pave your way to the top and shine like a star, nobly.

For one week, agree to be intensely (but compassionately) honest with yourself. Look at all your justifications for why you are stuck as excuses. If you knew you were just afraid or blocked somehow from moving forward, what would you do differently today to begin building a career that matches what you dreamed of when you were young?

If one desires to shine, it must be for one, not the others. It goes unsaid that if you want to shine like the sun, first burn like the sun.
