SEC-S18W6/Shining with your own light

designed on add text app

Hello friends

It's interesting to know that everyone you see is so gifted inside that's why they have a craving to shine

Do you feel that there are opportunities or occasions where you think your brightness deserves to stand out more than that of others?

my shining self

Yes I feel so. There are times in life where you would feel that you deserve something, a position, an opportunity or even a next level but it's not given to you because maybe the person it was given to had the upper hand in terms connection.

Yes several times while growing up I felt I have been in such situation. Once during a children's day celebration in church as a kid, we were to present something to the audience, either to memorize verse of the scripture or act drama or sing or even dance.

During our rehearsals, I was so outstanding that everyone wanted to just hear me memorize those scriptures at that point I felt my brightness was standing out. The feeling was different, I felt proud of myself.

Knowing how brilliant you are, would you be able to turn off your light a little to give someone else the opportunity to shine at an appropriate time? How and why would you do it?

my friends and I

Yes I think I can do that but it all depends on the circumstances. For instance, there was a time during my school days I went to search for a part time job in a school because I saw a vacancy there. I didn't know my close friend also applied for the job.

After the interview, we were told they will get back to the person more qualified for the job. On our way home, my close friend told me how she has been in debt and needed some money to pay up else she will be arrested.

She told me how her parents where struggling financially back at home and couldn't take care of her fees that's why she wants to get a per time job. Hearing those stories from my friend made me loose interest for the job. I wanted her to get the job.

After 3 days I was called on phone to come take the job. They said I was outstanding with my interview. I accepted and went. When I got to the school, I asked to speak with the school manager, I told him about my friend and how good she is and the many problems she has. I requested that the job be given to her instead of me.

The man was shocked! He said had no option than to make sure my request was granted. I got home and called my friend on phone asking her to resume work that the job was given to her. Up til today, she doesn't know I was the one that really got the job. Guess what? She till works there till today.

The Hawaiian squid does not shine on its own, it needs the help of others to achieve this. In your case, have there been people who have helped you shine or grow?

my paddy

Exactly! At every level of life I found myself, there were people that helped me shine and grow. I can not dispute the fact that we all need one another.

When I moved in a new city located in my country I didn't have a place to stay. Getting an accommodation was difficult. Just when I thought all hope was lost, someone offered to accommodate me in her house. I lived with her 1 year before I got my place. During those 1 year she fed me and took care of me as though I was related to her by blood. I can never forget!

There was a recent incident that happened I needed some amount of money to settle or rather complete a project I was running. The money needed was huge and the time was limited. A friend decided to step in and help me. She loaned the money to me to pay back whenever I have it. That's gesture from her was amazing and now the project is completed and I have returned back her money.

Fireflies emit light to attract a partner, but with your qualities and virtues did you manage to have the desired partner or do you continue to emit light to find him or her?

Oh am single and I would definitely get married soon but for now am living my best life now with amazing virtues to go with it.

Am emitting my bright light so that I can adequately attract the right partner for me. When you come in contact with me , you will surely know that I have one of the best qualities you want in a wife.

Am always happy, no mood swings, no disturbance, I love good meal and I love movies. There are other things about me that makes me stand out because I know that marriage is hard work. It's for matured minds and there are qualities to look out for when you desire to be married. Am working towards the ones I think I don't have waiting and expectant that soon he will find me...
