As a Coach who’s passion is inspiring people to live out their dreams, these few moments helped me to re-affirm my belief that dreams can be achieved by us all.  I created the DREAMS Method™  several years ago and wrote an e-book about this powerful acronym to help clients realize their dreams and Susan Boyle has used each of these components to show the world her talent and beauty as a human being.

DREAMS:        

Determination, Resistance, Endurance, , Accountability, Motivation, Success™

1) DETERMINATION – Susan Boyle was determined no matter what to go out there and show the world her talent and passion for singing.

2) RESISTANCE: Susan Boyle met the resistance of how others saw her and turned it around by having a wonderful personality and attitude. She was certain of herself and when Simon asked her why she had not shown her talent before, she pretty much exclaimed that she had not been giving an opportunity.

3) ENDURANCE: Susan Boyle endured all humiliation shown by the panel and the audience who were shown laughing at the mere fact that she had even been there.

4) ACCOUNTABILITY: Yes, believe it or not, she held others Accountable – for not seeing her as a talented human being and giving her an opportunity to exhibit such talent.

5) MOTIVATION – Susan Boyle was so motivated by her love for singing  and exhibited this motivation and love when she stood in front of millions of people, not caring how she would be ridiculed or looked at. Now that’s Motivation!

6) SUCCESS – Susan Boyle has had more viewers visit YouTube than anyone else in a mere 10 days since the show posted. She reached Success!

Susan inspired me tremendously. I also realized how sad it is and how cruel the world can be when someone slightly different comes along. Why does this happen? Are we so perfect that others are seen as less than significant? I too am guilty at times of judging others by their appearance or demeanor and for these few times, I am very sorry for acting in such a manner or feeling a certain way because in the end, I have missed out on meeting some very wonderful human beings that would have made a very positive impact in my life. Although these times were rare, one is too many!

How can Susan Boyle help to inspire you? Well, all you have to do is follow the DREAMS Method™  and you too will reach Success!

Susan, congratulations on standing up for yourself and your abilities and daring to be different!

To all of you readers, I challenge you to do the same.

Your Dream Partner,
