How to transform dreams into realities Acceptance is the first step
i’m a bad debt
the 1st of october 1988
our second daughter sophie is born
when she comes out of the womb i see the
surgeon’s face
he tells me sophie has a problem
sophia has wept fingers
symptom of down syndrome
sophie is disabled
my daughter is disabled
the world collapses my world collapses
i leave the hospital and for nine days
i refuse to see sophie
on the ninth day
i learned that sophie passed away from a
heart attack
i saw only two times alive
and that
since then i felt guilty
every second of every day
guilty that i was not able to give love
to this little lady
so i buried myself
in work
and i suffered in silence
twenty years later
life offers me four days alone four days
to myself
all along it might be a detail for you
but for me it’s
it means a lot because when you live in
a house
with five women
and one bathroom being
able to freely use this bathroom
it’s a gift yes i didn’t tell you but
i’m the only man in the house with five
women
i mean my wife and four daughters
and one bathroom just you can imagine
normally i i have my bed between uh
one and two o’clock in the morning
just you can understand my pleasure of
having a bath
in the afternoon so
i have my bath and i read a book
god is a friend of mine
that’s a good book lovely amazing moving
book i read this book
i get out of my bath
and i start to cry all my heart out
and there’s a little voice inside of me
saying
it’s okay that stop
stop now stop blaming yourself
it has been 20 years now create
transform
you can interpret this little voice as
you want
i heard this voice for sure
and it freed me myself from 20 years of
prison create that
transform
sophie was inviting me to to create my
life
to transform my life to transform my
my imprisonment into freedom my
my obstacles in in opportunities my
dreams into reality
my guilt in love
and i decided to transform
sophia reminded me a forgotten dream
of being a pirate a pirate
in love with freedom i was a pirate once
when i was eight i dreamt of
being a radio host when i was 10 i
dreamt of
acting in pirate films when i was 20
i was doing pirate radio i was living my
dream
we were free radios we were pirate
radios
and we were doing good things for the
people
well after some time i got back in line
sophie called me to order
be a pirate be a misfit
take other ways don’t let the conformity
of society swallow you up
be extravagant
be yourself believe in you
do what you feel is right respecting
others
and yourself
walters said once to realize
something really extraordinary you have
to begin to dreaming
by dreaming about it then
wake up calmly and go until the end of
your dream
never give up
if we are not pirates we can never be
free
if we abandon our dreams our fears with
will guide you our fears will guide you
it’s like zach’s power the pirates of
the caribbean
who has a strange compass with magical
properties
where the needle doesn’t indicate the
noise
but the direction of his biggest dream
the thing
that he desires the most in the world
and if by misfortune it doesn’t go in
this direction
his biggest fear the captain salazar
his worst enemy would be released
when i meet someone my favorite question
is
what’s your dream and when i
ask this question a lot of you say
i don’t have any dreams oh i don’t know
but when we were children
we had so many dreams inside us
and now as adults we abandon our dreams
why according to me
the world is sick because of this
to abandon our dreams
imagine ladies and gentlemen imagine
if all human beings
fulfill their dreams what would the
world be like
sophia reminds us that we are here on
earth
to achieve our dreams not the dreams
that others have planned for us
no no no no our dreams
our dreams show us the way
because the more you fulfill your dreams
the more you become the person you
really are
napoleon hill said cherish your visions
and your dreams
because they are the children of your
soul
radio was one of my biggest dreams
and beyond this dream sophie made me
discover
why i was a radio host why
i am a radio director
sofia made me discover the meaning of my
life the meaning of my life on earth is
to send love waves to the world
that’s why i work in radio
to send positive waves
to our million listeners every day
and everywhere it’s possible
that’s why i’m here in front of you
why i create conferences and shows
sophie’s message is a fulfill your
dreams dad
so i’m fulfilling my dreams little by
little
one after the other big old small
to stay on course on the path to the
meaning of my life on earth
to do my bid for the world
yeah if we abandon our dreams
we don’t serve the world is very selfish
imagine imagine
our dreams are made to be shared
because the more we repeat them the more
we can inspire others to do the same
because we can find people
who can help to fulfill them
john lennon said
dream alone is only a dream
dream together become reality
imagine imagine all the people
imagine if all human beings fulfill
their dreams what would the world be
like
sophie tells us that we are here to
achieve our dreams and
to grasp every opportunity
every we are responsible
for what happens to us whether life
situations are negative or positive
the essential
is what we do with them every
obstacle can become an opportunity
create that transformed
four days after hearing this little
voice inside of me
i decided to create and to fulfill
my biggest dream to create a musical
and i did it not alone
we created mana the title of title of
this musical we created manna in 2010
with my best friend michelle in aids
of antoinette’s school antoinette
who is on twitter
alternet is my goddaughter michelle’s
daughter
she was four when she was discovered to
have williams syndrome
where the symptoms are cardiac
intellectual limits don’t ask me why
life placed antoinette on my path
we didn’t know how to do this musical
but our belief
in life and in our dreams
place the right people on our path
we were 80 volunteers dancers singers
actors
designers technicians dressers producers
man i was seen by 6 000 people in 2010
this allowed us to collect
50 000 euros for antoinette school
and they decided in this school
to give 25 000 euros
to build an orphanage in haiti after the
terrible earthquake the same year
if i don’t hear if i
didn’t hear this little voice
if i didn’t decide to realize to
fulfill this dream
all of this wouldn’t exist
imagine if all human beings
fulfill their dreams what would the
world be like
sophie is still here
with my four other daughters
who are alive and well
i believe she’s the one who gives me the
most work
she pushes me every day to do what i
have never done
or what i don’t do enough of
she told me the four most
important messages in the world
four messages that i have named my big
four
my big four that gives life a meaning
my big four that i have decided
to say to share
every day as often as possible my big
four
that changes lives when you say them and
when you hear them
my big four
that i never never
said to sophie
hello
well done
thank you
i love you
you
