Stay With Your Dream

Here in the Uk we have a TV show called “Britain Has Got Talent” now hands in air and I do not watch much TV if any at all, and this show I have only ever seen bits of a few times over the years it has been running.

It is one of those shows where the Judges and the audience either love your act or if not you are off that stage quicker thanyou came on.

Now a few weeks back the show came from Scotland, they were looking for people for the finals.

I did not watch it…………………………………… Then all of a sudden I started to get emails, the first few ignored, then they started coming from top internet marketers with great headlines.

In the end I gave in and went to Youtube. Now any of you out there who know the power of YouTube know if your video gets a few thousand hits you are good, if it gets a bit higher then you have a viral video and if your backend is in place money is in your bank account.

Now if your video hit the Million you are a super star, but the stats I saw were mind numbing.

Well how about 50,918,044   or what about 100,000,000  yep that is 100 million, plus videos with views in the 100,000 range multiple times. And all the same video.

So why the title……………………………………………….. Well let me set the scene, we see this lady, and to be honest she seemed a nobody, like so many who want to get onto the show. Ant and Dec interview her. She is nervous.

Well as soon as she sets foot on the stage the audience and Judges are making fun of her. You see some of the teenager girls roll their eyes when she says what she wants to sing and who she wants to be like.  You can see everyone think you will be off in seconds…………………………………….

Well she gives the thumbs up…………………………………….. The music starts, you can still hear the noise of the audience wanting to get her off and the next act on, the judges are joking.

Then the first note is song, the power in her voice turns a joking and mocking crowd and a laughing set of judges into adoring fans. The song builds, the audience are on their feet, so too are the judges (well apart from simon Cowell, but his face says it all, it is a face of pleasure, of wow, of I cannot believe it).

The songs finished and our lady starts to walk off……………………………. she is used to rejection, Ant and Dec have to turn her around.  The Judges delivery their verdicts, She got three yes and not just a yes but the biggest YES ever.

And as she leaves the stage the crowd and judges are on their feet, tears rolling down their cheeks.

………………….. And what about the girl who rolled her eyes, as to say, ………………  Well she was jumping up and down and clapping and was so happy for this person who had just sung.

So what changed, it was the same building, the same judges, the same crowd, Ok 5 minutes had passed. It was the same lady on stage.

So what had changed ?  I tell you what had changed someone’s Dream had changed, Susan Boyle had that dream that she wanted to be someone. She wanted to be a singer on a stage, and she let no one around her change her from that dream or that goal.

When people laughed at her, made a joke of her, she had that dream in her mind playing over and over again.

You see when someone has dream in them and wants it so desperate like Susan Boyle, nothing no one is going to hold them back.

And that day, on a normal day in Scotland Susan Boyle’s Dream came True.

So stay with that dream, stay focused, and one day your dream will come true.
