Illuminate Others
The most beautiful function that a human being can have, regardless of their position or status, is to enlighten others. If the only thing we pursue is to shine ourselves, and we are intelligent, we will most likely find our way to success. But we must remember that although all human beings have similar desires to live a fulfilling life, not everyone has the same conditions and strength to achieve it.
People who proudly define themselves as “competitive”, always need to be one step ahead of somebody else. The sickness with that competitive approach to life, is that to win you start to enjoy other people’s failures. That makes no sense and is certainly not good for that person, neither it is for humanity.
Individuals solely obsessed on their own intelligence or brilliance may possess numerous achievements, yet they often find themselves lacking in happiness. Fulfillment often arises from meaningful interactions and connections with fellow human beings rather than solely from personal accomplishments.
If you are capable to shine, use your light to illuminate others. Your light will not be consumed by that, instead, it will sheen even more to make the world brighter.
