As I swim through the ocean’s waves, I’ve always tried to live my best life, carefree and light. But then, a dolphin appears, its fin slicing through the water, and suddenly I’m face to face with my deepest fears. It provokes me into inflating myself, and I feel my body expanding, my skin stretching, my heart racing.
The Struggle is Real!
In this moment, I’m a balloon animal, puffed up and fragile, vulnerable to the whims of the ocean. The dolphin taunts me, its clicks and whistles echoing through the water, “It’s just a little game,” it says, but I know the truth – it’s harassment, plain and simple. I’m angry, my heart burning with resentment, my mind racing with thoughts of escape.
The Power of Acceptance!

The Power of Forgiveness!
But as I swim away, my anger slowly dissipates, replaced by a sense of realization. I’m not just angry at the dolphin, I’m angry at myself, too. I’m tired of being prickly, stressed, and a balloon animal. I’m tired of letting others get to me, of letting my fears and doubts control me. And so, I take a deep breath, and let go of all the anger and resentment, and forgive myself and the dolphin.
The Takeaway
In summary, I learned that forgiveness is key to unlocking our true potential. By forgiving ourselves and others, we can let go of anger and resentment and embrace our worthiness and strength.
The Question
So, if you’re feeling prickly today, remember: you are enough, worthy of love and respect, and capable of amazing things. Will you take the first step towards forgiveness and unlock your true power?
