I've Been Moved!

Good Morning!

I am hooked on the X-Factor!

It isn't that I have seen any great talent...

I have seen some very good talent...

Yet I have been moved to tears ... with every show!

YES...I am not embarrassed to admit it...my eyes have welled up!

Why?

Because I have watched dreams come true!

That moves me!

It is an amazing thing...

Please allow me to share the first and last auditions with you...

Rachel Crow Watch her surprise at the audience reaction and her heartfelt thankfulness at the feedback from the judges...and the last thing she said on stage was..."I won't let you down!  Watch her with her family after!



And My FAVORITE Jazzlyn Little...(watch how nervous she was before she sang...and then how she put everything aside to live her dream...even if for a moment...then how thankful she was during the judging...)  Listen to her conversation after the audition..."Simon Clapped for me!"  "More work"..."I am going to make you proud!"



I am still moved to tears by these two!

Think about living your life in such a way that you have 2 minutes to prove to the world that you are a super-star...

Think about the world rising to their feet because of your performance...

Think about shocking the critics and the cynics into complimenting you...

WOW!

*******************************************

It takes a lot of PASSION to get up on the stage and expose yourself and your dreams...

It takes courage to test your abilities...against what you want people to believe you are...

Of all the things in the world...Jazzlyn didn't want to let her family down...

She didn't care about what "they" thought of her...or her clothes...or her talent...

She didn't want to disappoint those who believed in her!

That from a 16 year old!

Rachel and Jazzlyn were not exceptions...

I saw that the most successful participants were extremely humble...

I was moved by their success...and disbelief and true heartfelt appreciation

I could see and feel it!

I reveled in their moment right along with them!

WOW!

********************************************

We need to take lessons from those brave souls!

Each of us has a dream...and we can not be afraid to paying the price to take that step!

They risked seeing themselves for something they and the world around them may have deceived them into believing...maybe not...it is a HUGE risk!

We need to consistently do that too!

That is scary!

What if they got rejected?

What if we get rejected?

They tried and they learned...THE TRUTH!

They learned that their dreams were unrealistic...

Even in losing they walked away better for having tried...

We need to learn from them...WE NEED TO TRY under every circumstance...

Why should anyone wander through life guided by an impossible dream...that is...one that they have no right to be dreaming because they are incapable of performing...?

*********************************************

It moves me to tears...when I think about all of the people who dream...and...

They go through their life believing that all they need is that one BIG break...

When the fact of the matter is...

They did not possess the ability to perform...if the opportunity was afforded them...

In this case...it is good that they didn't get that chance!

It moves me to tears...when I think of the rare few that deserve that BIG break...and

It never comes to them...because they simply waited...and waited and waited...and did nothing to make it happen...

It moves me to tears...when I think if the VERY rare few who do take a chance and they see what they were dreaming was true!

We need to learn from each and every one of them...

********************************************

Success only comes to a rare few...On the original terms...

Success comes to many who are willing to see themselves as they truly are...and upon that realization...they adjust their dreams and aspirations to their ability...

Success must be aligned with one's ability for it to have a chance of becoming real...otherwise it will always reside in the dream world...

Success = X (as in X-Factor)

It only happens when Dreams are Aligned with Abilities and ACTION is added...

Let's get to the bottom line...

Stop Dreaming...Get REAL...Add ACTION!

You will quickly find success...or you will find the truth...

If you truly desire success...get out of the dream world...find the courage to get up on the stage and face the judges...

Stop making excuses and make it happen or CHANGE YOUR DREAMS...

You'll walk away a winner in EVERY case!

My 2 Minutes...

Please walk with me from "my stage"...

Like Jazzlyn I was terrified!

"EVERYONE'S LOOKING AT ME!"

"My Mentor" (the book I recently published) is one of those moments for me!

(you can see it by following the book link at the top of the right-hand column)

This book reveals my dreams and aspirations on many levels...

Some you'll read...some are not so evident...

I fear that people will read the book and not be moved...

I wrote this book in a way that you may be moved to stand and applaud...

Not for me...but what it did for you!

I threw aside my fears and...

...wrote it to make you proud...not of me...but YOU!

...wrote it to change your life...

Those words were already in me...I had no reason to share the insight and lessons for my own edification...

This is a book for YOU!

I want to feel the surprise that Rachel and Jazzlyn felt...

and give you the humble and heartfelt thanksgiving that they conveyed, on stage, for the chance to make a difference in others' lives...

PLEASE help me by sharing My Mentor with all of your contacts...share the Amazon link on Twitter, FaceBook...every social network and in your conversations...

The book may not change your life...but it is written for someone...let's work together to find out who it is!

*****************************************

My Mentor = Need to Read...if you want to Succeed!

Find those stages in life...walk on and ROCK the Audience!

If I may share a bit of witty wisdom...Remember that every moment is "a stage" in your development...live each one to the point of Standing Ovations!

E-NUF SED

Have a wonderful weekend...

Pura Vida!
