I just discovered this video on someone's Facebook status and I was shocked, thrilled, moved and inspired. Susan Boyle-what a woman! I guess the old saying "you can't judge a book by its cover" is true.
It really makes me want to do more with my life. This woman is a 47 year old church worker with one beautiful voice. I think she could find a part in some musical. Why not? She's spunky, talented and doesn't fear opportunity. That last emotion is the one that thwarts progression. FEAR. I think I have a tendency to let that slow me down. Sometimes I would like to change my job, go back to school, travel more, or just switch things up in general, but that four letter word gets the better of me and I start thinking too much about the unknown. I need to constantly remind myself of that Helen Keller quote, "Life is a daring adventure, or nothing." Good words to live by and good for Ms. Boyle for sharing her talent and living her dream.

I just saw this yesterday as well. Isn't she amazing?! I thought it was fun to watch the looks on everyone's faces before and after!
I read your post yesterday but didn't watch the clip. Then last night Eric brings the laptop in bed and says he wants to see some video on YouTube that he heard about and it was this lady. Great story. I'd like to live w/out fear as well
I know exactly what you're talking about, letting fear take away from things you could be enjoying. Before I got into training, I thought about it for probobly 5 years. There was a ton I was afraid of. I finally decided to just bite the bullet and do it. Now, I'm having the time of my life and I'm so glad I took the risk I was so nervous about.
Anyway, I love that clip! I just watched it. Ok, why did it make me cry? I'm so lame...
I loved this clip too! Wowie!
I saw this two nights ago. She was wonderful!
