This document outlines several hindrances to arising and shining, including lack of persistence, passion, and familiarity with God. It emphasizes the importance of persistence in pursuing one's dreams and calling despite obstacles. Familiarity with God can breed contempt and cause one to take Him for granted. Additional hindrances mentioned are laziness/slothfulness, a negative mindset, not letting go of the past, and flaws in one's character. Overcoming these hindrances requires diligence, focusing one's passion, maintaining an appropriate fear and excitement about God, and transforming negative thought patterns.
