Susan Boyle - You Can't Help But Be Inspired
Do you get lots of e mails from friends telling you about the latest You Tube video that you absolutely have to watch (as if you weren't already busy enough!).
Well like you I get those as well.
Occasionally they are funny, sometimes they are informative, often they are a downright waste of time and generally I delete the e mail without watching the video.
But every so often I decide to click on the link and have a look, especially if the e mail has come from someone I respect and who does not normally send on junk.
This morning I got one of thos e mails and in it there was a link to a You Tube Video and so I clicked on it.
And I am so glad I did.
The following video is Susan Boyle's appearance on last nights edition of "Britain's Got Talent".
She is a 47 Year old single Scottish woman who lives alone with her cat.
Think of your ancient auntie's best friend who loves a cup of tea and a biscuit, probably wears slippers all day and maybe potters around the garden a bit when it isn't raining.
And this lady then finds herself in front of Simon Cowell (Boo! Hiss! etc), Piers Morgan (More boo! Hiss!), the lovely Amanda Holden and a packed audience in a crowded theatre who can sniff performance incompetence a mile away.
Take the next 7 minutes to see a cynical audience swept away, appearance stereotypes shattered, Simon Cowell made to grin from ear to ear within seconds of this lady starting her act and Piers Morgan left pretty much speechless.
Not only that, spend this tiny fraction of your day to invest in your feeling of goodwill, hope and inspiration because in today's world we only focus on what the media presents to us and mostly that is bad, negative or just shallow hype.
In these 7 minutes you will realise that there is hope, joy, love and wonder out there….you just need to look a bit harder for it and usually, it ain't where you expect it to be.
Enjoy…
