In the article "You're the Light of the World," it was realized that being a light of the world is allowing the good works within you to be seen by all men. Making yourself significant to the world.
How do you let your light shine in the world?
1. Acknowledge the source:
Light gives life, and to be a light is to give hope and life to men. You must let your light (good work) in you shine and glorify your creator while being a blessing to your world.
Every light has a source, and a light cannot be seen unless its source is recognized. There is a source to your life, and in order to illuminate the world, you must acknowledge it.
Without giving thanks to the one who gave you life, you cannot bring forth light or make the good acts that are inside you visible.
The source of man's life is God. For our light to shine and enlighten our planet, God must be given the highest priority in our life.
Possess both abstract and concrete knowledge on what light you carry. What you know is an advantage to brighten the world. Without knowing the good works in you, you will abuse them.
Acknowledging the light source is not enough; you must have a working knowledge of what your light is, how it works, what makes it work, the principles behind its operation, and how to affect the world with it.
Have understanding about your light. Your light can be a gift; seek knowledge on it from those who have possessed such light before or are still carrying the torch. Knowledge will help you know your limitations and navigation system for the light.
Knowing your light will help you ignite it; know its intensity and how far it can brighten the world. Have knowledge and understanding about your light.
After possessing working knowledge on your light, let it shine. Put on the good works in you. Let your gift, potential, and ability within you begin to benefit the world. Let your light begin shining from where you are to the ends of the world.
Do not put your light off; let it shine. Spark your candle, put it on it's stick, and let it give glory to the world and your source.
There is no use of knowledge on light if it cannot be applied, if the light is not put to good use. Give yourself and your light importance to the world by allowing it to shine.

Jesus said "While I am in the world, I am the light of the world" (John 9:5. NIV)
Your ability to give light to the world is because you have the light of Life within. This is what most people fail to appreciate; therefore, even at the peak of success, they are likely to fail. What keeps a touch blazing for long is its source, not emptied of power.
You must acknowledge and be connected to your source, the powerhouse, as a first step to let your light shine in the world.

After possessing working knowledge on your light, let it shine. Put on the good works in you. Let your gift, potential, and ability within you begin to benefit the world. Let your light begin shining from where you are to the ends of the world.
Do not put your light off; let it shine. Spark your candle, put it on it's stick, and let it give glory to the world and your source.

4. Remove obstacles
When light falls on an obstacle, it forms a dark layer on the other side of the obstacle where light should have been. Any obstacle that will come between your light and the world will prevent your light from reaching the world. Therefore, remove every obstacle that will come your way.
Obstacles here are things that will prevent the good works within you from reaching out to men. They can be self-imposed or encountered from an external environment.

You must deal with obstacles in order to let your light shine in the world. You must protect your light from glowing dimmer by blocking external winds.
Obstructions that take you away from your light, that slow down your speed, and interfere with your blazing power must be dealt with.

To keep your light shining and affecting your world, you must remove all huddles on your path.
5. Maintain the light; keep fueling.
Your light will impact the world and make a difference by sustaining it for long. You must have your light shining throughout your life to make it a legacy.
Your light must continue shining after you. Generations yet unborn must come and enjoy your light. The light of salvation by Jesus keeps on affecting lives years after his ascension.
You must be the same as Christ. You must maintain your light by fueling it. You fuel your light by continuously doing the good works. Do not stop after you've lit the candle.
Have a surviving character for your career (your light). Do what keeps your light ahead and on top of your space.
You're the light of the world, and you must maintain your significance throughout generations by letting your light shine continuously.
