Having a BAD Day? No Matter How Dark It Gets, The Sun Will Rise

Thank you Justine & Michael 💚

There will be days when you think that everything is going the way you had planned. And then there are days when you feel like you can't do one single thing right. On the days when you feel like the universe is throwing a tantrum, embrace it. Having a bad day is OK. It’s called life and it happens every day, all around the world, to people with the best intentions.

Acknowledging that a problem exists is the only real way to move on. Facing up to the problem is part of the healing process that is necessary to help us get back to brighter times. 

No matter how dark it gets, the sun will rise, and we will try again.
What will you do with your new day?

Filmed in Cape Town, South Africa.

This young man is wise far beyond his years. I am sorry that he had to deal with the pain of rejection, but he has certainly made the best of his situation. I think most people would be very proud of having him for a son.

[ARolls-ddzd]

"Rejection doesn't come with detailed information most of the time they just shut you out." Very brilliant 👏

[lindawentink]

We are all worthy of love . It starts with self love . I agree James, nature has all the answers, the beauty, wisdom and healing .

[cathypreddie]

Don’t let the negativity of the past hurt you today. You are an amazing young man. Be the authentic you. ❤️

[shellywilks]

"Let the sun shine, let the sun rise." Yes my dear soul brother and continue to define success for yourself and in all of it, "to thine own self be true." ❤💛💚 Please don't take rejection personally, sometimes it happens when others don't really understands you/us. We are all different, no less than or better than, just different. Nature is natural therapy for all.

[JimmysOldTimeRadioShow]

"...optimistic and still trying..." Yes.

[serenity]

It's true, God is in nature. All loving, all forgiving, we find our souls there.

[yulove]

Yes..." treating myself with respect" sometimes we forget who we are.. who we REALLY are... the point is go back to the beautiful soul we have...💗😍
Thank you Guru for your wonderful story💗💗💗

Very fine youngster, very wise as well. Without being rejected time and time again, he maybe would not have found this peace of Heart. So nice to hear the tone and intention of his sonore voice 🌹🌿

[SONIAflotsamdiamond]

Never let others become the judge of your life. Reject outwardly the edicts handed down by the flummoxed society .

[UBuntu]

There is only one person who could ever make you happy and that person is you. Keep moving forward Your thoughts along with your feelings create your reality

[nell]

Lovely he doesn't seem is not easy but we can choose to not be bitter and to not give up.

[drusilladana]

This is wonderful! Too many say they value their personal freedom but, don't actually live it. When I see the courage people show to live their lives in their own way--I celebrate!! This is real success...no doubt about it. Thank you!

[mthosud]

[nyanazulu]

I really can feel you about the "not good enough.. " it took me long to say to myself "I am sorry, I'm sorry for..."very important, to forgive ourself. Be all safe 😇🙏

[Christine-njkl]
