The Sun always shines !


There are times when negativity, nay-sayers or unexpected events cause us to momentarily lose sight of the light of our dreams and goals. It is at these times that remembering the sun can help us.

The sun always shines; even when it seems that it doesn’t. If a dark cloud obscures the light and warmth of the sun you can be sure that it will soon pass, and the light will shine through once again.

It’s good to remember that despite external appearances the sun is shining always, even right now as I sit on my desk at night writing this to you. We may not be able to see it at this very moment, but it is there and it’s shining bright. And it’s only a matter of time before it will shine on us again.

The sun has been seen as a symbol of true wisdom, from ancient times to modern myth. By its example it teaches us that even if life feels like it is at a standstill, sometimes all we need to do is be patient and wait for the time when things are better again.

We can also choose to follow the way of the sun and continue doing our work and shining our light, even when we can’t immediately see positive results. In doing so we exercise our patience, making sure we are prepared when opportunity knocks and all other elements are in their right and perfect places.

The sun also reminds us that our own shining truth is never extinguished. Our light shines within us at all times, no matter what else occurs around us. This is why I chose the sun as the symbol of SoulKids, our life-skills program for children which is changing so many children in Singapore and all over the world.

SoulKids encourages every child to shine his/her light as brightly as they can regardless of external circumstances. To live with a strong sense of self-belief and to have your happiness and success in your own hands – what greater training can you receive? This is the gift of SoulKids.

So whether you are a child or an adult, remember the sun today and shine your own light

Live an Inspired Life!
