Live Your Dreams - Inspiring Person

It’s never too late (or early) to start living your dreams.
- Sue

Finding out unique talents is a process. For some it’s obvious right from the start what their gift is. This is especially true when it’s an obvious gift like playing the piano, singing, or athletics. For others it takes longer to discover their gifts, especially if it’s not easily definable - such as when the gift has to do with how we think or conceptualize things.

Here’s a video clip from the “Britain’s Got Talent” TV show.  6-year old Connie Talbot is showcased. Watch the judges faces change when they realize what they are witnessing. In Simon’s words…(yes THAT Simon)… ’she was pitch-perfect’…. I don’t think you can teach pitch to anyone, can you? Isn’t that just a gift you’re born with?

According to www.news.com.au (in 2007) Simon ‘preliminarily agreed to sign her up to a seven-figure deal with his own record label, Sony BMG.’

What’s your dream?  What is one step you can take towards living it?
