De Spotlight

Some people are willing to betray years of friendship just to get a little bit of the spotlight. By Lauren Conrad.
Spotlight has many synonyms,definitions and perspectives. The common simple definition of spotlight in life matter it's said to be a center of attention. The highlight or most important part or aspect.

We have types of spotlights like Ellipsoidal spotlight which is the most common of all seven types of spotlight or Fresnel spotlight,the piano convex,beam projector,parabolic aluminized reflector (PAR)spotlight and so on. No no am focusing on spotlight in terms of life matter. From my own theory or perspective I think we have positive and negative spotlight like how we have famous which is positive and infamous which is negative.

A quote by Marianne Williamson say's  the cosmic spotlight isn't pointed at you rather it radiates from within you. Another say's stay true in the dark and humble in the spotlight by Harold. I've come across this  question asked by one of my schoolmate. It says 'how do I choose a spotlight'? According to the person who explained it,used our general spotlight to elaborate more on the answer and she said as we have various types of spotlight you determine the one you want to use. For instance you're aiming for a narrow beam angle and you want to pick/pinpoint a particular picture on a wall or surface. Then secondly if you're aiming for a larger thing or in a larger area you would want the angle to be a wider beam. The same thing applies to the kind of spotlight we find ourselves in.

What type of light is spotlight?
Mmmm, I might say or defined it according to the normal definition. A spotlight cast a narrow beam of light usually no wider than 45degrees. It's concentrated and easier to point and control.
Maybe I won't mention floodlight but it has a beam spread of up to 120degrees . it can illuminate a larger amount of space with the same wattage and lumen output as a spotlight.

Back to "De spotlight" . In our generation today 90%
Of us want to be the center of attention. We all want to be outstanding from the crowd. We want the light to be directed on us. Also causing a lot of humans to go astray and commit unspeakable crimes.
Spotlight in psychology- There is something in psychology known as the spotlight effect . This is the phenomenon where people tend to overestimate how much others notice aspects of one's appearance or behaviour. From my early stage I was on spotlight. Mmm, I don't know if I should call that one spotlight or not. Maybe I should just use the term "people's favorite". I was this gorgeous kid who everybody wanted as a child. But in other words the spotlight really came from my parents to me and my siblings.
You know having a parents who are well know by people also direct some attention to their children.
Ah,sorry to burst your  bubble they aren't in any entertainment industry or any form of media platform. They are like every body else who aren't celebrity. They got their normal popularity from their parents most especially their personality. On my own side am not boastful of it or bragging about it I normally gain favour in almost everything and at times hop on several spotlights. In fact, I see it as something that comes/happens naturally.

Nevertheless, I missed  used certain spotlights even when its not actually spotlight. It was really really bad. I let those little moments or things  get into my head which isn't recommendable. It led to alot of lies,
Packaging,self-boast, thinking and so on. The best thing ever you can do is to not let your spotlight get into your head or force your way to it in a negative dimension, because later on,you will come to regret it and wish the light was never on you. Although,its hard to be seen among the crowd filled with different talented calibers of humans. Yes, they say your talent
speak for you. Even if you're talented/gifted in most things, few things or one thing you have to put extra effort in other to be at the top and maintain your radar. For example if you're giving an award, you shouldn't see it as an ordinary award or what you merited  but as a challenge,a stepping stone that will help you in motivating and multiplying your effort.
We struggle a lot to see we get what we want,achieve our aim and goals. If am giving a little opportunity to showcase what I have or the kind of potential I possess I will use it perfectly well in a positive way.

Fear of what other people think is the most powerful prison that people lives in. I believe is 90% correct while the remaining 10% of humans do not care. You can't do anything and expect to be on the spotlight. When you sit your butt at a place and expect manner to come down it won't,same applies to you sitting at a place and envying someone on the spotlight or being the center of attention and the next thought coming to you is to defame that person. More so, if you're place in that person shoe youwill find out that you can't handle a pitch of what the person has done talk more of breaking record and creating history. Now you are left with nothing but embarrassment. Been a psychic human being or mystical lover,most of these people gets attention cause their always needed.

According to Susan Mitchell and late psychiatrist Dr, Tomas Agosin article,the mystical experience leaves the mystic more connected and involved in the world. He/she expand his/her capacity to love and serve. The mystic becomes more appreciative of the beauty and  miracle of life. Therefore the light is always on them.

Do we necessarily need to be on the spotlight? Does much of it leads to be diagnose with psychosis?
