Good Omens

Well today has been inspiring!!! I woke up and was just putting on my wetsuit to go for a surf and look out the window and there was a whole school of dolphins. They are in the photo and I know I need a bigger lens but if you look carefully you can see them!!

I stayed up late last night rereading my favorite inspirational book, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, which is about fulfilling your dreams and the obstacles and inspirations that come along the way. It talks a lot about omens and listening to your heart. When I saw the dolphins I knew it was a good Oman. My dream is to make inspiring films that make a difference in the world. The Alchemist says that "when a person really desires something, all the Universe conspires to help that person realize his dream". Another thing he talks about is how "when I have been searching for my treasure(dream) I 've discovered things along the way that I never would have seen had I not had the courage to try things that seemed impossible to achieve". So today I bit the bullet and am ordering thousands of dollars worth of camera gear that I need in order to shoot in New Zealand, as all my gear is for US broadcast. I have been putting this off for months as it is a huge purchase and I have been fearful. So today I saw the dolphins and decided today's the day I am going to buy the gear. Guess what????? As soon as I have dropped my fear the phone and emails have been going crazy with possible work opportunities!!!!!! Unreal. The alchemist also says " If a person is living out his Personal Legend, he knows everything he needs to know. There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." So today I know I am a successful filmmaker and work is coming my way!!! Thank you dolphins!!!
