A friend just sent me this video clip and it got me thinking about why I was so moved by it (besides the fact that Paul who features in the video is Welsh, and in case you don’t know I’m Welsh too). But this has nothing to do with why and it would seem that I was not the only one moved by it!!!!
So check it out and I’d love to hear what you think about it.
So did it move you?
Having given it some thought, I think what moved me was a couple of things Paul said, followed by what Paul did. So Paul told us “My dream is to spend my life doing what I was born to do … but …confidence has always been a difficult thing for me”.
Why is this moving? Well for me I can really relate to this. How many of us have a dream of doing what we were truly born to do? You see I believe that inside each and every one of us there is something … something that intrinsically we know that we are born to do. And over time we have come to believe that we can’t do it. In some cases were even struggling to find what that thing is … it’s been buried for so long.
Paul also said his lack of confidence has held him back … somehow he had wired this into himself. I believe that each and every one of us set our own limits. And for me, seeing Paul, with his humble approach and huge, huge talent step up … step up to do the thing he knows he was born to do … sing opera, just makes me weep.
I wept with joy for Paul and maybe a tad of sorrow for myself for not truly stepping up to the greatness that I know is in me. A sorrow for allowing my own fears and “lack of confidence” stop me from stepping up and being more … and then some more weeping … weeping with joy in knowing that I can step up and that it can happen if I truly desire it. And not just desire it. Paul didn’t just rock up and belt out a good tune! He decided this was his chance. He choose what he was going to do. He practiced and he put in the effort and then showed up.
So knowing this, I know there is hope. There are NO LIMITS! There is a way for me to shine and live the life of my dreams.
So my friend what about you? Are you spending your life doing what you feel you were born to do?????
I would love to hear from you … speak soon
Until next time, all the best and keep dreaming!
Love
Liz
p.s. don’t forget the ACTION part otherwise you’ll simply be hallucinating!
