Do yourself a favor, and watch this video. It’s worth the 7 minutes, because you cannot help but smile and take in the amazing human spirit. Also pay attention to how quickly people shift from being cynical and judgemental, to becoming avid supporters when they are touched and amazed by something that catches them off guard.. and the power of belief becomes contagious.

If the link doesn’t work, just google Paul Potts from the June 07 Britain’s Got Talent competition. As you said, chills. And great lessons.
Brilliant! Love it, love it, love it! A perfect reminder of “KNOW YOUR WHY” and always hold that close. Thank you for posting this!
Greg,
Thanks for posting the clip so I could see it for myself. I read about it in a Rex Murphy article in today’s Globe & Mail. In contrasting her with the usual hollywood media spinning he wrote that Susan Boyle was
“an ordinary person with no posse, no personal trainer, no ‘movie in the
works,’ near 50, surgically unaltered, not adopting a baby a week, ‘no looks,’
as hollywood knows that term…that ordinary person had talent by the
bushel.”
It’s a nice reminder, or wake up call, to see that sometimes it’s not appearances but real talent or ability that really matters.
Great post Greg! Thanks for sharing this as I really found this to be very uplifting and reinforces if you have a dream to never give up trying to achieve it.
