Hello friends,

Nelson Mandela qualifies for a SunShine Profile simply for being a rational voice for peace and understanding.

He endured hardships that would have killed most of us, or at the very least turned us bitter and broken people. Instead he rose above adversity to become one of the leading statesmen of our time. His leadership qualities are very rare in our world.
He has shown unusual courage in all things, even on the personal level when he spoke out about Aids in South Africa on the death of his Son from that disease.

Through  it all you see a calm, thoughtful, and inspirational man devoted to the betterment of all mankind.

Here is my favorite quote from Mr Mandela

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory that is within us. And as we let our light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Have a great day. Be a Sun! Shine!
