How do you feel when you're in the limelight of fame? If you had asked me that twenty years ago, I would have said that it was a motivating factor and jumped at the chance of coming out in the limelight if there was an accomplishment I was proud to highlight. Now, all I want to do is to hide away. To seek quiet redress and just be, as I have experienced the negative effects of being in the limelight for all the wrong reasons. What is being in the limelight all about? Limelight in a positive context makes you an accomplished person, good enough to be an example to others. So people emulate your ways and you serve their purpose as a mentor. When you are in the limelight of fame, you experience a wide range of emotions, from pleasure to pain to fear, from the sadness of accepting failure to the exhilaration of being a success. Being in the limelight can be a source of joy, satisfaction, and validation, as you are recognized and celebrated for your achievements. You may feel proud of yourself and your accomplishments, and enjoy the attention and admiration you receive from others. On the other hand, being in the limelight can also be a source of anxiety, stress, and self-doubt, as you are under tremendous pressure to perform and meet the expectations of others. You may feel overwhelmed by the attention and scrutiny, and worry about making mistakes or disappointing your fans, for instance. It's hard to be in the limelight of scrutiny once you reach your highest level of achievement. How do you handle being in the limelight without letting it affect you negatively? You can do this by focusing on your strengths and passions, and developing a sense of purpose and meaning in your work. You can also cultivate resilience, self-compassion, and self-care, and seek support from your loved ones and peers. By doing that, you can learn to embrace the limelight as an opportunity for growth, learning, and fulfillment, rather than a source of fear or anxiety. Here's to the limelight of success and fame for all those deserving. -shobana- Read more here: https://shobanasmusings.blogspot.com/2024/04/in-limelight-of-fame.html Want to read two free stories: Webnovel has published The Curse of the White Rose.

Please consider a review and a like as I have entered it for a contest. Thank you. They saw a boy of seven or eight carrying a basket and walking up to them. He approached them with a bright smile on his face. "Hello, what's inside the basket," Coralia asked, smiling back at him. "Snacks and mineral water, Ma'am," he replied. He took a packet of groundnuts and the chips and showed it to the two women. "How much for a packet of chips and a bottle of mineral water?" Sassy asked. The boy looked sunburnt and dishevelled and wore black shorts and an oversized white T-shirt. His hair was tousled and looked unkempt due to the strong sea breeze blowing their way. "A dollar, Ma'am," he replied. Coralia had a dollar in her pocket and gave it to him. She bought another bottle of mineral water and paid him an extra fifty cents. The boy looked happy and was about to leave when Coralia asked, "Are you from nearby here?" She noticed that the boy was barefoot and had a cut on his ankle. "Yes, over there, where the kampung is. Behind your hotel." Coralia asked then, "Did you fall earlier? There is a cut on your ankle and the wound looks fresh. "No, I hit against the rock when I tried to climb up on one. It's nothing, just a small cut. It will heal soon. Thank you, Ma'am," the boy started to walk away. "Well, are you Malay? I mean, are you local?" Coralia prodded, and he stopped short in his tracks. No, I am from Siam. I come here, now and then, to make some money then go back to my parents there. I come with some of the people who come here to trade. I come by boat, stay for a week, then we go back home together." Coralia and Sassy were intrigued by the child's story.
