The sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening. The moon is “born”, grows to its peak by the middle of the month and then wanes. Our lives go through similar cycles, yet we learn from nature and to benefit from nature, we look at ourselves (the latter is a subject on its own).

The setting of the sun will generally result in a drop of temperature and darkness. When our personal sun sets, we may feel alone, cold and the outlook dark. No, it is not the final sunset yet, but it does not feel good anyway. If you are now in that situation, then you must get some sunlight from one who has an abundance of it and who is willing to share. Drag yourself to get that sunlight and rekindle the warmth inside, so that life, in its true form, may again spring forth from within you. We’ll get to the moon in a moment, but let us first get to benefit from the sun. On a nice warm day, after the sun has set, you put your hand on the ground (outside) and you feel that there is still some warmth that the ground absorbed from the sun. In like manner, we must manage ourselves to store our heat and to withstand the onset of cold. We must build up our positivity to combat the negativity that invariably will circle around us. This is just how we should operate on an everyday basis. Yet, there is the need to recharge one’s batteries because there are storms, etc that will come our way at some point. That is the role professionals play in our lives to assist us. We must also engage in reading that which will assist our growth and development.

The moon is at its best during the middle of the month. Just like our bank balance, it wanes and then there is hope again closer to pay day. These cycles do impact us. There are a few people who have moved beyond this. For the most of us it is that we are caught up in the convention. The truly happy person is the one who can move beyond it. This is the ultimate. I merely mention this to whet your appetite but we are so much more dependent on the sun. Therefore our first step must be to optimise the value of the sun. Be positive and work towards being the sun for others even just a little. Let your darkness and cold days be few and far between.

After building up all this positivity, soon we will be able conquer the cycle of the moon.
