Shine Brightly and Beautifully

The difference between a star and a shining star is not just the brilliance at which it projects but a combination of some cofounding factors. Such as, the distance at which it is seen, how exactly big the star is, the viewer and the viewer's eyes amongst many other things. 

Stay with me, four key words here, I’m about to do some cross matching with them.

Brilliance, I can liken to passion and intentionality; Distance to location or positioning; the viewer to an audience; viewer's eyes, to the ability of your audience to comprehend the particular information you are sending .

The preceding paragraph, I would say has given you something to ponder on. Nevertheless, I will still like to highlight a few things just to guide your thought process.

Firstly, the importance of passion and intentionality cannot be overemphasized; this in particular makes the difference between a star and a shining star. 

Secondly, just like you cannot tell the color of a dress by using your ears, not everyone can actually understand and even appreciate the message you are sharing. You need a target audience. Or If you think your reach is not big enough, you need tailored information for your different audience.

Furthermore, know that you do not shine for yourself alone but for others to SEE and shine also

“If the light within you is greater than the darkness around you, you are a star.”

Finally,  a star shining brighter than anything in it's galaxy that is hidden from view is as useless as one that doesn't shine at all because it doesn't illuminate anything. Position yourself strategically to shine!

"Just as a star can’t be seen behind a cloud, you can never shine and be seen behind the clouding of your insecurities.”

On a side note, I thought it might interest you to know the brightest star in the Earth's night sky is "Sirius" also known as Dog Star. 

This is where we call it a day for the week, thought to keep it short this time, I hope you learnt a thing or two.

Shine, star, you are all the illumination the world needs.
