am not exactly in the best of moods to study. having quite a few thoughts running through my mind. feeling pretty unsettled to hit the books so taking a few moments to write. decided to watch the video of susan boyle again.
viewed it only a few hours back and somehow i just wanted to watch it again. i was wowed, amazed, stunned, blown away and the list really can go on. her voice is entirely captivating, pulls you into serenity, truly an angelic voice. and what touched me deeper on viewing it the second time was really the spirit and guts that she had.
although going on to 48 years old, not the lady with great looks, with a learning disability, unemployed, living in the villages, she had her fighting spirit up. many looked down on her as she took to the stage. people were mocking at her and in some ways, even ridiculing her. imagine if she took all this in and gave up on her dream to become a professional singer. imagine if she took in the looks, the comments, the sacarsm that people threw at her, all this would have never been. her confidence was astoundingly incredible. she knew what she had and could do. she knew how to fight for the opportunity that came knocking. she knew what she wanted and would give her best to get it, with no regrets. amazing. not just the voice but the spirit. she really taught me a lot a lot.
so many of us would usually seek the easier way out by saying that we cant. we withdraw with every setback that we face. we cry, complain and whine over the littlest of things. it is really saddening that people like to think that they are in the worst situation ever and immersing themselves in self-pity and pushing the blame on others. we don't have the courage and passion to run for what we want, to take ownership of it. if we were to continue wallowing, our lives would eventually come to a naught. it is just another life that was lived but yet lost.
i want to be able to fight for my dreams, the deepest desires of my heart. the going is tough, but that is also when the tough gets going. i don't want to be fearful of failures but i want to be an overcomer. i am able to get my breakthroughs and see dreams being fulfilled as long as i keep at it, never giving up. susan boyle, you're my heroine of the day.
