Thank you Justine & Michael đ
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. Itâs 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.Â
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.
Featuring James Motlhamme.

Thank you Justine & Michael đ
Life consists of polarities â light and dark, good and evil, sweet and bitter. We are no different. All of us have a shadow side. And it is this shadow or dark side that allows us to gain a sense of perspective, by allowing us to truly appreciate the light side of life. The more we acknowledge what we donât like, the easier it is to see our gifts and strengths. It makes us a whole human being.
There was a man who was so disturbed by his own shadow that he was determined to lose it for good. So he got up and ran. But his shadow kept up with him, and so he ran faster and faster until the exertion took its toll and he dropped. If he had simply stepped into the shade, sat down and stayed still [meditated], his shadow would have vanished. -Chuang Tzu, The Way
Filmed in Montagu, South Africa.
