Your Dreams Can Come True, But You Have To Believe in Yourself
This has been all over the news all over the world, so you have probably seen it already. I saw something about it on the tv a few times before I actually went and watched the video on YouTube. I’m posting it here to bring your attention to this incredible story. Please take a deep breath and allow yourself to really take in what is going on here. Try not to see this as just a nice story.
All of us have creative talent. And I believe that most of my readers have chosen to nurture that creativity. However, our society has taught us that to be recognized as “an artist” you have to have an art degree, or someone outside yourself must make that distinction. Watch Susan Boyle in this video. No one came to discover her. She took the initiative to allow others to hear her talent. She knows she has it.
I can’t imagine the courage it took for her to go on that show. But before she goes on stage she says “I’m going to make the audience rock.” She didn’t worry about her looks or whether she was going to “make a fool of herself”. (That’s one of my biggest fears. The mean voice in my head is constantly saying “They’re going to make fun of you.”) In a later interview on Good Morning America, she talks about how kids made fun of her in school. That’s a trauma she has probably carried with her all her life, and yet she still got on tv and faced Simon and risked being made fun of once again. But in her heart she knew she could sing.
Now, sit back and really think about YOUR dream while you watch this video. Allow yourself to believe in YOU. I truly hope this inspires you to believe in yourself and know that you can make your dream come true.
