What appears to be not always is. Susan Boyle, a contestant on the 2009 show, Brittain’s Got Talent, stunned the world with her performance, proving that it’s never too late to dream or change life’s direction.
Just like Paul Potts in 2007, Susan Boyle’s Brittain’s Got Talent presentation has shaken the belief that it’s too late to dream. At age 47, her new life is just beginning.
The Les Miserable song choice has caused some to think it was somewhat ironic she chose to sing about lost dreams. But dig a bit deeper. Susan was a loving daughter, a caretaker who cared for her mom until she passed in 2007 at age 91. Experiencing the loss of someone close to us makes us question our own mortality and realize how short and fragile life actually is. When asked where her courage came from to get on the stage and sing, Susan said “My mom gave me the courage. The song was a tribute to her.”
Dream. Then like Susan Boyle, risk being judged. And do it anyway.
