It’s Never Too Late

One of the things I love to do – particularly when I’m feeling somewhat “stuck” or in need of inspiration, is to check out YouTube videos.  Have you ever done it?  There’s a whole myriad of inspiration to be found, especially on the Britain’s Got Talent show.  The latest one I just watched this morning, and it shows 47 year old Susan Boyle claiming her dream for herself.  It’s amazing to watch.

Here’s this woman – a rather common-looking, middle-aged woman – going after her dream with a relative confidence and cheekiness.  At the beginning, you can see that the judges and audience are less than impressed.  Skeptical would be the best word in my opinion.  And despite this, Susan Boyle clearly states what she’s going for, without hesitation, and then “wham!” – she blows the whole audience away!

As I watched – and I know I’ll watch it again – I was struck by her sassiness, her confidence, her self-belief, her determination.  It would have been really easy (I think) for her to say things like, “I’m too old”, “I missed my chance”, “It’s just a dream”, etc;.  But for some reason she didn’t.  And the result speaks for itself.

I have no idea how this woman’s dream will turn out from here.  I guess I’ll keep an eye out and see.  What I do know is this:  thanks to Susan Boyle, I will hold on to the idea that it really is never too late.  I can pursue my dreams for as long as I want and am willing.  Combine this with my unshakeable belief that the universe wants me to experience success on my terms as much as I do, and dreams are bound to come true.  I’ll just keep moving forward.
