They can steal your shine

DON'T LET THEM STEAL YOUR SOUL

Life can be cruel sometimes, it throws challenges at us; people, circumstances, or moments will try to dim our light. They will try to take your spotlight, your achievements, or even your confidence. They can steal your shine, that outward glow of success and joy, but your soul is the most important part of your being. That is yours to protect. Your soul is the core of who you are, your passion, your purpose, your unbreakable spirit. You have to guard it fiercely.

Your shine is what the world sees, your victories, your smile, your energy. It is the part of you that others might envy or try to claim for themselves. Maybe someone undermines your work, takes credit for your ideas, or casts shadows on your moment in the sun, don't struggle with them. Shine is fleeting, and it can always be polished again, but your soul is your essence, it is the fire that fuels your dreams, the quiet strength that keeps you moving forward when the world feels heavy, no one can touch that unless you let them.

When life knocks you down, when critics try to break you, or when betrayal stings, hold fast to your soul; it is the voice that whispers confidence, it is the courage that pushes you to rise after a fall. It’s the belief that no matter how much they take from you, they can never take what makes you unique. Your soul is your compass, guiding you through storms when the shine of the world fades.

Let them take the shine, let them have their fleeting victories, let them bask in the temporary glow they have snatched. Your shine will return brighter, bolder, and more radiant than before. Your soul is sacred, protect it, nurture it, let it burn with a fire that no one can extinguish. While the world can steal your shine, only you can decide who holds your soul. Keep it yours, and you will always find your way back to the light.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
