Don't become addicted to the spotlight.
There’s nothing wrong with “shining your light” but sometimes some can get so caught up with being in the limelight that they start to lose themselves. Being any kind of figure whether it’s a public figure, athlete, or entertainer can be difficult. If one isn’t careful they can become addicted to the spotlight. Being so consumed with getting the attention. Fear of being forgotten.
When one makes their mark. They’ve made their mark.They won’t be forgotten. Pushing others out of the way to be at the center of it all and not considering others is a bad way to go. A bad way to generate a solid legacy. So many desire to be legends and they’re go to the extreme to do so. Creating pain for themselves and those who care about them and their well being. It’s unhealthy to want to be in the spotlight all of the time and not allowing others to have their chance to shine. Of course anyone can shine but there’s others and we must consider other people as well.
The need to be first as probably hit each and everyone of us. For some there’s a desire to be accepted by all. Impossible.Everyone won’t accept what you have to offer and who you are. Some may not like who you are at all and there’s nothing anyone can do about those who refuse to like others. The best thing to do is to be yourself and to try to be happy with who you are. There’s always someone who will love the real you. Remove feeling inadequate and understand that there will come a time when the title being the top dog or star will fade.
Others will come along and shine and that’s alright. The talents, the contributions, and dedication will never be forgotten. That’s why it’s so important that we love ourselves. Yes, we can change somethings, but we shouldn’t become anyone else but ourselves. No need to be in the spotlight all of the time. Enjoy being offset or backstage. The need to be accepted is so high. So many are challenged with the idea of acceptance.Wanting everyone to love who they are.
We should allow our crafts and talents to shine but we shouldn’t put high amounts of stress to do so. The stage will be there and we must understand that being on stage for too long can create a meltdown. The being addicted to the spotlight causes others to feel inadequate because they’re not given a chance to shine. A star athlete will continue to be know for his talents but there will come that day when he must say goodbye to his craft. There will come a time when he will have to take a back seat so that the rookies can get an opportunity to shine. That’s just the way things are.
No need to feel bad about having to move back. No need to feel bad about not being the leader of the team any longer. We all must move on to something else.retirement, and face changes. Legacies are what so many want to leave behind. The idea that when they’re no longer around, will the people still remember who they were, and remember what they’ve contributed.
There will be times in our lives where we may not feel as if we’ve accomplished enough or produced enough but those feeling fade after awhile. Then we become whole again. Sometimes a craft is loved so much that we’ll want to continue working on our craft but there will come a time when we must let our craft go. Shining occurs but can not occur always. It’s alright to sit back and allow those who deserve to shine as well to do so. That time to put up your hat is a time when the crowd will cheer and there will be expressions of gratitude.

What do you think would happen if Paris Hilton walked down to the supermarket on a regular day? She would be mobbed and hounded for autographs and pictures. Celebrities and other famous people cannot lead lives of normal people.
Famous people are often followed or harassed by phone, email, or mail by fans or followers who cross the line and become obsessed. Obsession can turn into threats and even physical harm.
Being in the spotlight alone for a long time is nothing but a selfishness. And not allowing others for fear of not remaining there alone is cruel. One should realize that being a celebrity by virtue of her/her craft may not set the stage for him/her continuously for years together. One has to leave the seat and allow others to occupy it. He should realize that it is the time that had given him an opportunity to wear a medal or crown and it would never be his always and that the same day would shift to some other personality offering an opportunity. This is not losing the opportunity or favor of others. It is only a shift from one plane to another plane.
Leaving a seat should be considered not as dishonor but should be considered with a spirit of acceptance.This spirit of acceptance will actually make them win the love of even more people with great respect,love,and honor.
