Self-gratification is the act of satisfying your own desires and giving yourself pleasure. Gratification is the act of gratifying or pleasing, either the mind, the taste, or the appetite; as, the gratification of the palate, of the appetites, of the senses, of the desire, of the heart.
Self-gratification is preventing many people from shinning. People prefer to gratify their desires whether good or corrupt. They cannot discipline themselves to learn to postpone their gratification in favor of durable gain or long-term profit. Gratifying yourself or oneself with flitting and flying pleasure, is one of the way most people choose not to shine.
Learning to postpone your gratification or temporary or brief pleasure in favor of the durable or long-term profit or gain is the starting point of choosing to shine like a star. For instance, the prodigal son choose not to shine or shine like a star by given himself all pleasure that he craved for.
People who choose to shine do just postpone
their self-gratification or gratification for postponing sake, they do so,
because of the long-term benefits they want to experience. So, postponement of
gratification in favor of the long-term profit is the way some people choose to
shine like star.

Indomitable attitude characterized by strong interest and all your intelligence and strength: Having an indomitable attitude characterized by strong interest and using all your intelligence and strength in your work is a great way some people choose to shine. Your indomitable attitude will help you not to be depressed by apparent failure, but makes you to always prepared, if beaten or bidden, to return a thousand times to the most depressing or most distasteful or most disagreeable duty.
“Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. But, we imagine them to be impossible, and then by our attitude we render them so”- Legio Mariae. Your indomitable attitude keep you strong and make you not to accept or create self-made or man-made impossibilities.

4. 4. Using their talents: When you fail or refuse to use your talent, you are ignoring or forgetting your talent. Your talent or talents are jewels hidden deep within you to be discovered and be develop and then put to proper use.
People who fail to use their talent often do so because of self-doubt and neglect of duty. If you do not use your talent, you will lose your talents. The more you use your talent, the more your talent keep multiplying. You can multiply your talent as seen in the story of the talents. Your one talent can be increased to two, three, four, to the numbers you want. That is why there are people who are described as multi-talented. When you are using your talents, your talents will keep increasing.
For the use of your talent bring in, more
revelations. The more you use your talents, the more revelations you will get
on how to use those your talents. You cannot shine when you are refusing to use
your talents. One of the way some people used to shine, is to use their
talents.
5. 5. Acting with prudence: Heedlessness or mindlessness or rashness is the trait of acting rashly and without prudence. Prudence is discretion in practical affairs while the word rashly means in a hasty and foolhardy manner. Acting rashly (in a hasty and foolhardy manner) and without prudence is one way most people choose to be poor or not to shine.
Acting rashly make some people happy and comfortable but, yet makes lots of people not to shine. You cannot achieve your cherished desires when you are rash in your decisions. People who choose to shine always act with prudence. Without prudence, people will make unnecessary mistakes in their actions and their mistakes will not be notice on time.
People who act rashly are always ignorance of their mistakes, until the effects of their mistakes begin to manifest or show. It is the habit of acting in discretion and carefulness that make people to shine. To shine or shine like a star, one must take his or her time to act with prudence.
6. 6. Standing by the task at hand/pay or give proper attention to your work: According to Legio Mariae, “ There is a natural tendency in many people of great goodwill to do everything but what they are supposed to do, to wander all over the field instead of standing at the work which has being assigned to them.
Most people choose not to shine when they fail to stand by the task or work at hand. And when they pay less attention to their works. Standing by the task or work at hand and paying proper attention to one’s work is the act of diligence. Most times, people choose to do every other things that would not help them.
But the actual thing or the main thing that
would help them to shine, they would not do them. To shine like a star, you
need to stand by the task or work assigned to you or your work by giving in the
proper attention the work requires or demands.
7. 7. Take pains or be at pains or strive: Take pains is to try very hard to do something. Strive is an attempt by employing effort. It is to exert much effort or energy. Most people do not like to take pains. They only love to feel the gains. They dislike the labor because they wrongly believed that favor is better than labor. The truth is that, it is the labor that brings the favor.
If you are not ready to take pains or be at pains, then, do not love the shine. You can only shine when you are willing to be at pains. If you are not prepare to labor for the things you prayed for, forget about the things you prayed for, you would not get it for as it is said that, God does not favor a lazy man or lazy person.
Success is 99 percent my or your effort and 1 percent God’s input. If you want to see miracle, you must be the miracle. This is why Saint Theresa said, “Go to the end of your strength before you complain” and Saint Thomas Moore said, “The things I pray for, dear Lord, give me the grace to labor for”.
You must take pains if really you want to
shine like a star. No pain, no palm; no thorn, no throne; no gall, no glory; no
cross, no crown. – Legio Mariae.
8. 8. Be incline to work/be dispose to action: Incline is to have a tendency or disposition to do or be something; be inclined. Incline or dispose is to make receptive or willing towards an action or attitude or belief. Most people are not incline to work that is why they prefer to twist the success anthem, ‘Duty first; and pleasure thereafter’ to ‘Pleasure first; and duty thereafter’.
When you are not incline to work or dispose to action, you will frequently neglect your work or forget or ignore your works or duties. You will give more attention to your pleasure. You cannot shine with this kind of habit. To shine like a star, one way to achieve this, is to be dispose to action and into every work, simple or difficult should be thrown the best that you can give.
It is the doing of the work that helps you
to shine. It is what you sow, you will reap. If you sow sparingly, it is your
choice but if you sow abundantly, you reap abundantly and you will shine more
like a star.
9. 9. Thoughtfulness: Thoughtfulness is the trait of thinking carefully before acting: it is a calm, lengthy, intent consideration. Thinking carefully is the way to follow if you want to shine or shine like a star. Carefully means taking care or paying attention. When you think carefully, you are making sure, you act with care and pay attention to what you are supposed to do and be doing. Because, what you are doing may be different from what should you do and be doing.
Thoughtfulness helps you to avoid mistakes and over-pampering yourself, do the right things at the right times, pay attention to your works or duties, and focus your mind on the much important things.
Without thinking carefully, most people
will concentrate themselves and spend much of their time going after the less
important things. The prodigal son fail to shine because, he did not follow the
way of thoughtfulness. So, to shine like a star, thoughtfulness is the way.
10. 10. Performance of duty in the best possible way (careful method): Finding the best possible way to do your work or duty is the way some people choose to shine. There are many ways you can use to do or perform your duty. Some of the ways are less effective. Using the best possible way become your only chance to achieve your cherished desires faster.
The reason most people do not want to use the best possible way, is that the best careful method may be complex and difficult to use or follow. The careful method may take your time and most people prefer to act in hasty manner. You get the best result when you use the best way or careful method. Most times, most people never get to perform their duties well or properly or in the right manner because, they do not use the best possible way or the careful method.
Most people fail to shine or shine like a
star because they fail to perform their duties in the best possible way. If you
must shine like a star, you must learn to perform your duties in the best
possible way. Things work out best for those who make the best of how things
work out- John Wooden
11. 11. Poise/ Brace/Brace oneself for/Prepare for/steel oneself for: Poise or brace is to prepare (oneself) for something unpleasant or difficult. Poise is great calmness and composure under strain. Strain is an effortful attempt to attain a goal. It is an intense or violent exertion. It is difficulty that causes worry or emotional tension. It is to exert much effort or energy. Brace oneself for or prepare for or steel oneself for is to prepare mentally or emotionally for something unpleasant.
Most times, most people do not take their time to prepare for something unpleasant. Nobody wants the unpleasant things but yet, you have to take your time to prepare for such. Because on your way to shine or shine a like star, you will definitely meet series of unpleasant things. If you have not prepared for the unpleasant things before then, you will eventually desist from attacking and fighting those unpleasant things.
The single reason why so many people cannot go to the end of their strength before complaining and finish the race or fight till the end and cannot return a thousand times to the most disagreeable or most depressing duty is the issue of not preparing for something unpleasant or distasteful or depressing or difficult. The lack of poise is making many people to turn from ‘toil and hardship’. Poise enables you, “if you’re going through hell keep going- Winston Churchill.
So, if you must shine or shine like a star, always prepared for something unpleasant. Learn to meet or face the unpleasant things by preparing to face or meet them. That is how some people choose to shine or shine like a star.
If you want to shine like a star, the eleven
ways discussed above will help you greatly in doing so. You are a star. Keep
shinning the way you do.
