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.

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.
