The Suns Advice: Shine Bright and Follow Your Path

Well, howdy there, y’all! Let’s chew the fat about somethin’ real important – the sun, yeah, that big ol’ ball of fire in the sky. But I ain’t gonna talk about the weather or nothin’. We’re gonna talk about the sun as advice, ya hear?

Now, what in tarnation does that mean? It means, be like the sun, child! Shine bright! That sun, it just shines, don’t it? It don’t care if folks are lookin’ or not, it just does its thing. That’s what you gotta do too.

• Shine like a star! That’s what the young’uns say, I reckon. Be somethin’ special. Don’t be hidin’ your light under a bushel, whatever that means.
• Be bright and splendiferous! Like them shiny clothes the city folk wear. You know, the ones that make you squint. Be so good, they can’t ignore ya.

The sun, it’s powerful. It busts through them clouds, don’t it? You gotta be like that too. When life throws dirt on ya, you gotta shake it off and shine even brighter. It ain’t always easy, I tell ya. Life can be harder than a dried-up corncob. But you gotta keep on shinin’ anyway.

You know, some folks, they always lookin’ for the bad. They like grumpy ol’ crows, always cawin’ about somethin’. But the sun, it don’t do that. It just shines. You gotta try to be positive, even when things are as sour as a green persimmon. Be the sunshine in somebody’s cloudy day, ya know?

And don’t be shinin’ for other folks, neither. Do it for yourself. Be authentic, like them smart folks say. That means bein’ true to who you are. If you like singin’ off-key in the shower, well, sing your heart out! If you like wearin’ mismatched socks, go right ahead! Don’t let nobody tell you different.

Shinin’ bright, it means bein’ alive. It means havin’ joy and enthusiasm, like a kid with a new puppy. It means bein’ confident and happy, like a rooster crowin’ on a sunny mornin’. It means bein’ open and truthful, like a clear blue sky.

And sometimes, shinin’ bright means just bein’ plain ol’ visible. Don’t be a wallflower, hidin’ in the corner. Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes like a leaf in the wind. Let folks know you’re here and you matter.

Life throws all sorts of things at ya, good and bad. Sometimes it feels like you’re stuck in a dark hole, like a groundhog on a cloudy day. But even then, you gotta remember the sun. It’s always there, even when you can’t see it. And you gotta be like that too. You gotta keep that little spark of sunshine inside you, and let it shine whenever you can.

So, next time you’re feelin’ down in the dumps, look up at the sun. Think about how it just keeps on shinin’, no matter what. And then, you go out there and do the same. Shine bright, child. Shine bright for yourself. Shine bright for the whole dang world!

And that’s all I gotta say about that. It ain’t fancy talk, but it’s the truth, as sure as the sun rises in the east. Now, go on and shine, ya hear?
