Sharing sunshine today



hold in your hands, a gift, from the universe

presently we as humans are challenged by uncertainty

and change, which seems scary, but behind the dark

clouds, rest assured that the sun still shines

may this book bring blessings into your life and into the

lives of those that you influence, share, care for, and

inspire you, in the deepest way possible to find thesunshine within yourself, and help you to spread it

around generously

You



The Book There is no right way to read this book. You can read thoughit front to back, back to front, flick the pages and randomly

pick out a page, read a line today, the rest maybe in a week,or a page today and a page tomorrow.

Do with it what you like but please give it the respect as it has

been created with a lot of love for you. If you don't want itplease don't throw it out, hand it to some one else who maylike to read it. We would prefer you leave it randomly at a

table than chuck it in a bin.

We hope you hold onto it though and use it from time to time

when you need a little sip from it's large well.

Peace !



BreatheWe announce to the world our arrival with one huge cry

followed by taking over responsibility for our own breath , a

primal instinct that determines our survival.

Mindful breathing has been used as technique by many

eastern spiritual traditions for centuries.

Cut through all the mind chatter right now to observe your

breath. Is it shallow, quick, slow, relaxed, anxious, serene,

deep?

STOP ! and take a DEEP BREATH! Let go slowly ....



RelaxStrings on a guitar need to have just the right tension to

have optimal sound quality. Too tight and they will SNAP!

Our lives are sometimes hectic, frantic, hellish paced

scenarios. All the achievement comes at a price, reinforced by our environment where winners take it all

Are YOU tightly strung or just tuned correctly?

When was the last time you walked bare feet in the grass orexperienced some sand through your toes? Or even the

feeling of waves circling your ankles?



SmileSmiling is the secret gateway to sharing sunshine in an instant

By just one simple act we can reward ourselves and others

with it's benefits.

It enhances the immune system, decreases stress, changes

your mood, makes you look better without make up and it'ssaid that people who smile are more likely to get a promotion.

Most of all its a sure shot way to spread some happiness.

You don't need a reason to smile.

STOP all that you are doing and smile at the next person yousee, it's random and makes you look silly, but will make two

people feel great.



ReflectTo look within, and become aware of what lies beneath.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Let that step be genuine mindfulness.

Can you look at yourself in the mirror and not judge your

features? Turn of those thoughts that are critical of yournose, or the colour of your skin, or the shape of your lips?

Walk past the trap of judgment, of the obvious

physical. Create within a space where you can reflect without

being disturbed.



Pray Not everyone has the same tastes, and praying is pretty much

the same. It is basically about dialogue.

Some choose a place to have this chat , some can do itanywhere, others need a book, and some need beads, all are

doing the same thing differently, yet connecting to the same

place.

It is an effort to reach someone or something larger than you.Where you can unburden yourself to, some one who you hope

will understand and respond.

Praying can be both a conscious and unconscious act, yet it is

deeply personal and we must respect the way each one chooses

for themselves.

If you have never prayed before, it's easy, be a child and simply

talk in silence or aloud to the skies, but it need not only be

words, actions count as well



ReleaseHow many times have you heard some one say "let go"?

Easy to say, tough to do isn't it? Even though it seems like an

involuntary action, it's more a conscious decision that you might

like to believe.

If you are gripping something really tight only you can unfold those

fingers and let it drop. At times we hold memories of pain within

ourselves, unwilling to let it go, cause it would mean, not getting

the justice over what was done wrongly to us, revenge comes at aprice.

The secret to letting go lies somewhere between forgiveness and

surrender.



TrustPeople struggle with Trust.

It's not their fault.

There is a dichotomy at hand. Everyone wants deep and meaningful

relationships, but one of the fundamental value's for those is trust.

The question is how can you trust someone, when you have beentraumatized and hurt in the past and all that is left is disbelief, doubt

and suspicion?

You Can't!

and yes You Can!

Wounds that are inflicted need to be healed. Become aware of the

trauma and pain within you and start to address it, making peace with

the people who knowingly or unknowingly caused it.

The vulnerability and fear will leave, allowing you to trust again.



HopeYour chips are down, it's all bleak, desperate and you see no road

out of the situation.

Everyone has been there and you are not alone.

Many revisit this scenario from time to time, a failing

business, relationship, job, idea, something that holds great

personal value is fading away, and quick.

This is after you have tried every trick in the book, no stoneunturned and it's now the edge of the precipice.

HOPEIt's a part of heaven's grace, a life line in those times. It gives just

enough strength to die another day.

Take it, grab it, hold it, do anything you want but at those tough

times, hold HOPE close to your heart.



Touch Besides breathing, eating, drinking and tending to all other basic

needs, there is one important human need that is greatlyignored. The need to be touched, hugged, held, caressed.

Humans need this as much, but are bound by strict social ideas

to give and receive this openly.

If we hugged more, we would have smiled more.

At a time when we are overtaken by social media and other tech

advances where the contact is in data bytes,

are YOU brave enough to be a warrior for the hug?

Is there some in your life YOU need to hug?

Do YOU want a hug?

Think about it! it's only a hug but it changes a lot of things!



InspireWhen your words or actions strike a chord in another

and you see them moving onwards, there is no greater joy. To

be inspirational is a divine gift and if you have it, please don't

hide it under a rock.

The world aches for truly inspirational leaders who have a solid

grounding in true values.

The younger generation is in need of mentors, guides,

and teachers who can go beyond the prescribed syllabus, and

assist them to see the ample opportunities

for positive sustainable growth.

INSPIRE someone TODAY!



SingTo sing is to express. Most people are conscious when it comes

to singing. Afraid of the critical feedback they may receive. If

that's the case, close your doors and windows and let it out. It's

truly liberating and it will help you find your voice.

You don't need to be an expert singer or even sing in tune or on

time for that matter. Allow those sounds, words and feelings to

be released through the melody that is within your heart.

It's automatic and intuitive, try it!



DanceWe can move, and it's a beautiful thing to be able to do. Now

add some music and rhythm and we have just taken movement

to the next level.

In many cultures dance was used as a part of their spiritual

practice and prayer method. It is really a very powerful way to

take our mind out of its chatter and through movement find a

way of letting go.There are different disciplines to this art form, you are

encouraged to find one that suits you, it could be to express

yourself, or pray or just have fun. It's all good.

Whatever it is, turn up the music, shake a little leg and have funtoday.

When people say can't dance, We say yes you can, when they

say, cant keep the beat, we say, who care's, do your own thing!!



ExploreA curious mind that is geared towards life long learning can

never grow old and tired. It has a child like passion to discover

new things and adventure out into the path less taken.

You are encouraged strongly to ignite this passion within

yourself and muster the courage to explore your own self

impose limitations. If you start to feel fear, embrace it, it is your

body telling you you are nearing your limit. Brace yourself, to

break that limitation you must ready yourself for the leap of faith. It's unavoidable but worth it.

Ask questions, meet people, research, take some courses, read

some books, challenge status quo.



AffirmDefinition, affirm Verb State as a fact; assert strongly and publicly.

Declare one's support for; uphold or defend.

Be brave to declare what you stand for. This is the time the

world needs genuine, passionate people to stand up and be

counted. It needs to know that humans are willing to step up

and become leaders. Leaders for the right reason. If we are

truly democratic then we must be fair.

Take time to affirm the positive things in your life and those that

need change.

If you don't address it, nobody else will.

Take a pen and paper and write down all those things that come

to your mind, that you would like to reaffirm and strike out all

that which holds no more value.



Share Everyone is blessed with something, some have abundant talent,

some wealth, others have time, whatever it is Sharing should bethe new buzz word. It must be the new word to Trend.

Why?

Because we can, and through it uplift someone's life.

Imagine you play amazing guitar and sing now you teach somekids to do it, or you have heaps of money, you start a trust that

encourages sport programs, or you have time and you spend a

day with people in retirement homes or teach someone to read

or write.

That's really powerful stuff.

If you have something to share, please start today, find

something you are passionate about and give genuinely. It

creates sunshine like you cant believe!!



Thank Thank You is a very powerful affirmation.

In that moment we are going outside our own domain of power

to acknowledge someone else and their act of loving kindness.

At this very moment you may feel overwhelmed and angry with

all that is stuck and not working in your life, but there is still

something to be grateful for.

In some languages Thank You is literally translated to

"God Bless You" or "Blessings upon you", which creates

tremendous positivity.

Take just a few moments to reflect on what you may be grateful

for in your life today and while you are at it

bless others.

gracias, obrigado, xiexie, merci, danke, dhanyavad, arigato, asante



DreamThis is the fuel of life, and for life.

Dreams are what life is made of.

From the time we are kids we have aspirations from what we

hear, see or read. We dream all the time.

Use every possible iota of directed passion in your body to

channel it to making your dream become real.

Know your dream and follow it.

Share it with people around you.

Inspire them.

When you want badly enough the universe will conspire to

give it to you but be wise with what you choose

be alive, be now, be human, be all you can be.



PrayerLord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love.For it is in giving that we receive.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
