Inspiration and Hope from The Dolphin

I came across this today and found it so inspiring, thought I'd share. Dolphins are our best friends and my favorite animals. They're smiling, loving, caring, affectionate and so splendid! Enjoy.


Following Your Dreams

"The Dolphin" is an enchanting tale of courage, and rising above fears and limits. A lonely dolphin named Daniel Alexander Dolphin sets out to fulfill his destiny and learns that to achieve his goals he must not only act, but dream, and not only plan, but believe. The wisdom he acquires can inspire we humans as well:
"There comes a time in life
when there is nothing else to do
but to go your own way.
A time to follow your dreams.
A time to raise the sails of your
own beliefs."

Remembering Who You Are

"Never forget: When you’re just about to give up,
when you feel that life has been
too hard on you,
remember who you are.
Remember your dream."


Overcoming Fear of Failure

"Most of us are not prepared to overcome
our failures, and because of this
we are not able to fulfill our gifts.
It is easy to stand for something
that does not carry a risk."

Overcoming Limits

"Discovering new worlds will not only
bring you happiness and wisdom,
but also sadness and fear.
How could you value happiness
without knowing what sadness is?
How could you achieve wisdom
without facing your own fears?
In the end, the great challenge in life
is to overcome
the limits within yourself,
pushing them to places you would never
have dreamed they could go."


Following Your Heart

"Perhaps dreams are made of
lots of hard work.
Perhaps if we try to cut corners,
we lose track of
the reason we started dreaming,
and at the end we find that
the dream no longer belongs to us.
Perhaps if we just follow the
wisdom from our heart, then time
will make sure we get to our destiny."

Letting Instinct Lead to Wisdom

"Falling into the deepest desperation
gives you the chance to find
your true nature.
Just as dreams come alive
when you least expect them to,
so will the answers to questions
you cannot unfold.
Let your instinct
build a trail of wisdom,
and let your fears be
diminished by hope."

Finding Great Depth

"Some things will always be stronger
than time and distance.
Deeper than languages and ways.
Like following your dreams,
and learning to be yourself.
Sharing with others
the magic you have found. . . . "

Staying Forever Young

"There are some things you cannot see
with your eyes.
You have to see them with your heart,
and that’s the hard part of it.
For instance,
if you find the spirit of the youngster
inside of you,
with your memories and his dreams,
you two will walk together,
trying to find a way through this
adventure called life.
Always trying to make the best of it.
And your heart will never become tired or old. . ."

Discovering Your Greatest Treasures

"Follow your dreams. Listen to your heart.
Whatever others might tell you,
never forget that you only live once
and that your dreams, big or small,
are the greatest treasures that will
guide your life to a unique and wonderful destiny.
Don’t let your fears stand in the way of your dreams."

Will never understand what is or was it all about

Author of this post: Magalli

I have lived a very busy sixty years of my life now and will never understand what it was all about!

I am accused of thinking too much or analyzing every moment. I believe they are right but I still need answers.

The only reason I did not crack was because when I feel lost I tell myself "girl just go with the flow" it works for a period, the questions come back so the merry go round continues.

Now I understand what my father meant when he said "from birth to 30 its le CHIC, from 30 to 50 its Le CHOC and from 50 onwards its Le CHEQUE"
I understand it because I am 60, have been through the stages and by golly how right he was.

When you are young, people want to know you and you get the looks when you walk down the street, from 30 to 50 you start getting shocked that you do not turn heads any longer. From 50 onwards you need to pay people to be with you. I know it is all a bit exagerated but you get my Gist?

I have lived a grand life as a child of a diplomat, but hardly can remember the grandiour of it as I was pretty messed up in my head to step back and appreciate it. Now I reflect back and think I should have been calm and savor each moment. But I still rush around thinking "what is next?, this is when I miss the moment.

Coming from a strict upbringing, I managed to escape at the age of 18, get myself pregnant and thankfully according to my beliefs at the time, the guy married me so I do not become a disgrace to my family. He was from a different culture to mine, we both were in a foreign country, he was a good man but poor, unemployed and lazy. Of course the children have suffered emotionally of this concuction but if I am to go into detail, I would need to write a book.

Children have grown up! Now What? I ask myself. Have nothing in common with the guy I married! my thoughts overtook me and I upped and left to explore the world that I had missed at 18. I was 45 and had fifteen years of adventure, even managed to become a Lesbian in 2000.
(by the way I am not anymore) I do not know what I am. Have you started to think that I am a lunatic?
You would not think so if you knew the detailed story, as I said previously to explain my life in detail, I'd need to write a long book.

These fifteen years were magical, I achieved much, but oops I think I missed them too because when I was living then, I was still searching for something else. Some people live in the same country, same neighborhood, same chores and are satisfied, unlike souls like me always searching and regretting not living the moment once the moment passed me by.

Today I am 60, alone, and still wondering who I am... where I am going... & what I should be doing?

If I had to pick a custom-made man, I'd make sure he attended Venus academy!

I've been in the same relationship for almost a decade now and boy are there days when I just want to throw it all away and start over.. and then this haunting thought keeps creeping back in. Is it worth throwing it all away or should I overlook certain things and look at the bright side?

Coz believe me, there are days when I feel like I'm the luckiest woman out there.

My guy is loving, caring, peaceful, non-confrontational (which works against him at times), somewhat knowledgeable about women's cycles and moods, a feminist himself, is a fabulous listener, helps around the kitchen more often than not, pitches in with house chores (when asked!).
And yet, there are days where I just wanna scream! How is that possible?
