Last week I began by talking about how Dory gave me the inspiration to go back to writing. And if you truly are a Dory fan, you were overjoyed when 13 years since Finding Nemo, Finding Dory was born. Truth is Finding Nemo wouldn't have had the impact it had if it weren't for Dory. Isn't it interesting that she, a fish suffering from short term memory loss could give us so much to think about. I couldn't help but notice all the wise words being thrown around the movie... I wished I had a pad and pen right there in the cinema... but thank God for the internet, I found some of those quotes. And so that's what I want to share about....some Dory wisdom. (PS: a little spoiler alert...so if you haven't watched Finding Dory, please do.)
1. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming:We were introduced to this classic meme in Finding Nemo and in Finding Dory, we find out...her parents sing it too! So it was just a matter of time till it inspired everyone. It's the simplest life lesson really, when you encounter hardship, just like Dory, keep going. Basically, never give up!
2. When something is too hard, there is always another way:
These wise words were said by Charlie, Dory's Dad. Quite amazing actually, because it really sums up what our attitude to life should be. Life sometimes throws us curve balls and we feel like we just might suffocate, but truth is, there is always another way out, just breathe and figure it out!
3. What Would Dory Do?:
Marlin, as we all know is a worrier and represents many of us in life who worry worry worry... Dory represents the few who decide life is to be lived, fearless of what the future holds. So, Dory, in complete faith accomplishes the impossible only because she decides nothing is going to stop her. And really, the lesson here is simple, going through life takes a step in faith. So, ask yourself, like Marlin and Nemo did, what would Dory do....and do it!4. You can do whatever you put your mind to:
These words were spoken by Jenny, Dory's mum to Dory when she followed the shells back home. An impossible task really, because just before she did, she was lost. But she did as Dory always does, she decided she was going to find her way home. I especially like how she made decisions... (I'll let you find out how she did this). This right here is my favorite meme... it reminds me that anything however impossible is possible to do if you want to do it.
5. The best things happen by chance:
And to complete my list are Dory's words... when you think about it really, almost everything that has ever happened to you by chance was pretty surreal. Like Dory, meeting Marlin was by chance and through that she was adopted into a family. So, look out for those chance experiences, they are the ones you'll remember for a lifetime.Hope you've learnt something worth using in life. And as always, think, 'what would Dory do?'
Your Fellow Dory Fan,
Sharon.
