Here’s a woman, not married, very plain looking, and almost 48 years old auditioning for a top spot. Typically when you see this happen they turn out to be a total and complete whack job. I believe everyone was on this same page until she opened her mouth. She was fantastic and flawless! Within minutes she turned not only the audience around but millions of viewers as well. Incredible.

How did that happen? Her voice was great… but then there are a lot of great voices that audition. Why this big reaction for Ms Boyle?

She’s the real deal. Life gave her lemons but she persevered. Auditioning with her senior moment, judges eyes rolling, and comments flying she stuck it out. There’s a great lesson here.

No matter what happens to us we can achieve our moment of greatness whatever that means to each of us individually. Shouldn’t that be part of our life experience?

I am sure Susan heard some very disparaging and hurtful things before getting on that stage. Yet she did get on that stage. That’s the key.

What can you do, right now, to get “on that stage”? Is there something that you really want to accomplish? Don’t put it off another minute! People will criticize and tell you it can’t be done. So be it. All you need to do is look at Susan Boyle. What an example and inspiration for all of us. I know she is for me.
