What is your dream?
A few weeks ago, Susan Boyle was alone and lonely. She freely admitted she’d never even been kissed. And at 47, life had nearly passed her by.
One glance at the poor woman and you would have immediately known why.
After all – haven’t our movies and TV taught us that successful people are always good-looking, intelligent, talented and, well … cool?
And haven’t they also taught us that people who look like Susan are dim-witted, ungifted, worthless – and in some cases, even villainous?
Little wonder that, when Susan dared share her dream of singing on stage, most people only snickered at her …
When she said she would audition for the British version of American Idol, the laughing grew louder …
And when Susan waddled onto the stage and told Simon Cowell that her dream was to be a star, the guffaws exploded into a deafening roar.
Because, after all: Everyone knows that singing stars never, ever look like Susan.
Despite what many people think, fear and courage are not opposites. In much the same way that the words “success” and “failure” are meaningless without each other, “courage” cannot exist where there is no fear.
Your assignment for this week: Name the fear that’s standing between you and the success you dream of – and tell us what you’re going to do this week to beat it!
