Choose to Shine in Life!


“The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success: if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.” –Samuel Smiles

Title: Choose to Shine in Life!

Making the decision to shine is a powerful commitment that sets the tone for an exceptional day. When we choose to shine in a specific aspect of life or a particular task, we push ourselves to work harder and hold ourselves accountable for the actions and results we create.

But why do people choose to shine? The reasons can be as vast as the sky, but fundamentally, it signifies having big goals and high expectations for oneself. The burning desire to shine comes from recognizing the need for personal growth and improvement in the way we perceive, feel, or handle things. For instance, choosing to shine at work demonstrates the realization of your potential contributions, adding value to the department and the company you work for. Shining at work entails committing to projects and outcomes as if you were the owner of the company. This dedication leads you to work wholeheartedly, achieve tasks faster and with greater quality, and foster positive relationships with your team and boss.

However, deciding to shine comes with significant responsibilities and requires a strong character and willpower. You become the architect of your life, responsible for leading yourself without anyone dictating how you should live. To stay on track, you must constantly remind yourself of your expectations and hold yourself accountable for your actions and success.

Saying, "I choose to shine," reflects self-love and a desire to improve not only for yourself but also for others. While everyone aspires to achieve their goals and succeed, true character emerges when faced with obstacles and discouragement. Despite challenging circumstances, the commitment to shine drives you to get up in the morning and work diligently towards your commitments.

The test of your character and commitment to shining lies in your ability to silence negative thoughts and maintain a positive self-dialogue while working on your tasks. Overcoming challenges and staying true to your commitments offer the greatest reward—the feeling of self-control, which serves as the ultimate motivator. This transformative switch is only possible when you wholeheartedly embrace the commitment to shine and make steady progress toward achieving your life goals.

Keep on shining brightly and embrace life's opportunities with confidence and determination!

The Good Life

My Reflection on "The Good Life" Still buzzing with insights from reading "The Good Life"! Just finished reading this fascinating book by Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz, and it's left me with a lot to ponder. Based on the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest-running happiness study ever, it dives into what truly makes for a fulfilling life.  Spoiler alert: it's not about money, fame, or even success. The clear winner, according to the study, is strong, positive relationships. The book masterfully weaves personal stories of the study's participants with cutting-edge science, proving that deep connections with loved ones are the foundation of happiness, health, and longevity.  Here are just a few takeaways that resonated with me: Relationships Matter Most : From family and friends to casual acquaintances, the quality of our social connections has a profound impact on our well-being. It's Never Too Late :  The study shows that people can fi

How’s Your Communication Style Serving YOU?

How’s Your Communication Style Serving YOU? By, Nafije & Kathy Have you ever heard of the phrase Know thyself ! This motto is inscribed on the frontispiece of the Temple of Delphi in Greece. This phrase suggests that man must “examine their life” and live according to her/his nature. What great wisdom, and powerful motto this phrase contains. It is a vital reminder for all of us to sit back and reflect on our communications. We can take the wisdom from the quote and “practice” communicating, to enhance our personal leadership skills so we can “perform at our desired” level! In my cognitive science research, I learned that there are many communication styles, but they all fit into four main communication styles: Analytical, Direct, Supportive, and Initiating. Many theories explain the four main types of communication styles, and they agree that our style of communication is often “situational.”   We all have the dominant styles we use with different peop
