There's many ways to shine in life, which do you mean exactly? I shine by being friendly, sharing my good fortune, treating people with respect, and wholeheartedly putting 100% of what I've got into whatever I do. That 100% is arbitrary and should always be improving; when I'm at work or wherever and find my mind wandering, I instead try to figure out ways to work more efficiently and be a better person/friend/employee in general. Use both hands when I can, switch up my order of operations and count the seconds I save, communicate more clearly to my teammates, and try to keep my mouth shut when people talk to me while simultaneously trying not to look like I'm literally biting my tongue.

Shining through your own eyes is something I'm struggling with though. I'm trying to clean a mess as soon as I make it, to treat my one and only body well by eating healthfully and staying fit, and to develop patience and discipline. I feel like I'm shining in life when I do well in those ways too but I make it harder than it should be.

I guess what I've taken out of all this is that it's easy to shine in life when you don't overcomplicate things.
