I am so fortunate that I was involved with a seal called Selso who was rescued and released after a 7 month rehabilitation at uShaka Sea World. We taught him to eat from us and her learned fast. When he arrived he was about 100kilograms underweight and only weighed 75kilograms. When he left he weighed nearly 200kilograms, and stolen all our hearts and been fitted with a satellite tag so we could monitor his progress on his way back to the sub-antarctic islands where these animals are found. We took him on a cruise ship to Port Elizabeth, and then released him off the continental shelf. He is already more than halfway to his destination and scientists believe he is presently fishing in a place in the ocean where food is plentiful. So amazing to watch his progress. I take my hat off to the management of Sea World for funding this exercise and doing it for the individual and the species and of course our oceans at large.
Success is not giving a hoot. If you can be a 45 year old cat woman playing in front of 3000 people, totally uninhibited, then you are succeeding. Because if you are able to do that, you are in the present moment, not caring about what anybody else thinks. Not worried about their judgements or how you think you should be coming across. (ok, so I was a little worried, so not 100% successful, but I continue to strive to be free of this nonsence) When you have that presence of mind in front of animals, that is when you are succeeding.
