We exist in many and different capacities and each capacity demands something from us. We exist as individuals in our own right but also exist in other capacities that are subject to the rights of others and to great responsibilities.

We exist as `I' as `me', as `myself' but also as a part of `we' and a part of `us'. We exist as a person but also a person that others rely on because we fall into a particular category, such as partner, parent, friend, worker, counselor guide among others. Others expect the best from us as we tend to expect the best from them.

All that you can really do or the best that you can give to anyone or anything is your very best. No one, anywhere or any of your capacities can ask anymore of you. Because there is so much to you, it may not be possible to always give your very best in every capacity but the very least that you can do is try your best.

​Wake up and demand your best from yourself for yourself and for others. Give the day your best. Give everything that you do today your very best, until you exhaust yourself or your very best.

​We wake up in the morning and have to go to work, if there is work to go to or even if you have to work from home. Even if there is no work to go to, there is usually something that needs to be done and needs your attention.

You wake up, have a wash, have breakfast and find something nice to wear and a nice polished pair of shoes. You may not have time to do it all but you will want to look your best for work, for that job interview, for that appointment or for someone you expect to encounter during your daily routines.


​ By doing or wanting to do all these things, you are shinning your exterior. The big question is what about the interior you?
 
Do you wake up and shine your interior? Do you wake up and shine your soul?  Do not let anyone try and convince you that appearances are not important, because they are.  External appearances are important
in reflecting how you care about yourself and not so much about how great, beautiful or handsome you look today. Even more important is the appearance on the inside, the appearance that no one else but you see, unless you let them.
 
We as a people can be very good at hiding what is going on inside our minds. The exterior appearance like a magnificent mansion can hide some fears and horror stories that lie on the inside. To the pure heart and pure mind there are no hidden fears and no horror stories. If there are, the pure mind and pure heart always has a way of overcoming them along the way.
 
Wake up, have a wash, Have breakfast, find something nice to wear and a polished pair of shoes to wear, if you have the time. More importantly make time when you wake up to polish and shine your soul. Cleanse your mind of any negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts. Eliminate despair with hope. Polish away doubt with confidence and take a leap of faith.

Think positive and grow positive. Prosper on the inside,by shinning your soul with all that is positive and good thoughts and the prosperity will extend itself around you. Shine your soul and your soul will project its own radiance to compliment and magnify your exterior appearance.
