Release the Fear ~ Live the Life You Dream

What fear is holding you back? Watch one person as they go for their dream.
You, too, have a voice you haven’t shared with the world. An illusive talent, a dream, a lifestyle choice. You have been given the vision, but not the confidence. What a waste to let fear hold you back from living the life you have imagined. Perhaps you aren’t “good enough?” Or others won’t “approve?”
Moved to Tears
In Paul Potts’ case, people were brought to tears by his performance. The passion in his eyes spoke to us. A dream realized. We all want to believe. We appreciate that his enormous untapped talent has been set free. His life will never be the same because he took the one bold step to share his gift with others.
Brittain’s Got Talent was Paul Potts’ first step in his journey of fulfillment, but he doesn’t yet understand how he moves people. In this video, he is still awaiting validation from the judges that he is “good enough” to move forward in the contest.
Whose validation or approval are you waiting for?
Fear less. Do more. Embrace your talents and share them with the world. You are special.
So what happened to Paul?
On June 18, the humble Paul Potts, mobile phone salesman, won Brittain’s Got Talent contest and £100,000. He will soon be singing before the Queen. Simon Cowell has provided him with a record deal.
“I was always a bit different. All my life, I felt insignificant. After the audition, I realized I was someone. I was Paul Potts.”
Dealing with health issues for the last few years, he said he’ll be using some of the money to pay off debts and fix his teeth.
“Two years off sick knocks you for six when all you have to live on is your credit card. I had to work hard just to keep my head above water. I still can’t believe I’m in this position. I don’t know how long it’s going to take to sink in. At the moment it’s all a bit of a haze.”
Believe in the power of possibilities. Believe in yourself.

Thank you for sharing the incredible Paul Potts and I shared your feelings of exquisite joy at his courage and talent. I cried and had goose bumps as I moved through the videos. I like your site very much and appreciate your perspective on things which are much more the stable side of life yet still encouraging what may seem like the outrageous. I know my readers will enjoy this too so I will link to you if you don’t mind. Thanks again, Alexandra
Alexandra, thanks for stopping by for a visit. I’m glad to hear you were as touched by the Paul Potts story as I was. We all have a voice inside that needs to be shared with the world. Perhaps his story will encourage others to follow their dreams. Lynn
