Susan Boyle- A Light of Hope and a Model of Possibilities

16 April 2009 11 Comments

It is a new world.  Countries and people are interconnected in ways our parents could not have imagined.  We are interdependent. And out of the web of technology that has connected us has come new possibilities for each and every individual on the planet.  We each have the power to be super-humans- super self-actualized- achieving a worldwide impact by our own actions that never before could have been possible. With the internet, we each are free to touch millions of other individuals.  We can express our views, and be heard. We each have the power to pursue our dreams, sell our wares, inspire hope, draw attention to needs.  In this new world we each have the power to change our own lives and we each have the power to change the world.   Not just words.  It is Fact.  In 2009, with the incredible connectivity of the Internet, one person’s Faith and Hope and belief in Possibilities has the power to traverse the world in hours, impacting millions for the better.

Case in Point:  Susan Boyle. Susan Boyle performed for “Britain’s Got Talent” just a few days ago.  An unlikely candidate for applaud, without the usual accouterments that draw attention, such as pierced body parts, flashy sequined clothes or sexy hotpants-  Susan took the audience by storm in a stunning, mesmerizing performance that changed people in a nanosecond-from hardened, jaded life observers- to persons of hope, inspiration and belief in the power of the individual to transcend and achieve dreams.  The audience roared with screaming applause, but the moment of glory did not stop as people throughout the world text messaged others with the incredible manifestation of HOPE IN POSSIBILITIES.

Within hours over 9 million people worldwide scrambled to watch the performance on YOU TUBE.  They watching the 47 year old, unemployed, never married, never-even-kissed (!) woman from a small village in Scotland who lives alone with her cat EXCEL to heights unimaginable- achieving her greatest potential and dreams visibly, astoundingly, in front of the world.    And that potential was not just the loveliest, purest and strongest of voices, or the instant fame and economic success that goes with fame.  The greatest potential she achieved was the immediate impact to millions and millions of persons with realization of HOPE in POSSIBILITIES.  Throughout the world, people have stepped aside from moments that would have otherwise been jaded, weary, angry, or depressed to engage and bask in realization of POSSIBILITIES.

Many are watching the YOU TUBE video of Susan Boyle over and over.    Tears of joy.  JOY!  Had we all forgotten what it was??  Sue Boyle has shown us.  She has reminded us of what JOY is.  She has renewed our faith in POSSIBILITIES.  Let us each take time to consider our own possibilities.  And HOPE in them.  And make them REAL.

Thank you,  Susan Boyle, on behalf of the world.

    THe phenomenom here is that she is vindication for thousands of women all over the world, those of us with puggy thighs, unkempt hair, no makeup and no hope! We listen to her and we know that she came out of nowhere, a nobody just like us, but she had the audacity the shere teneacity to believe that just maybe, the dream she held close and nurtured in silence for most of the years of her life, might come true! She gives women like myself, who my husband refers to as his little hobbit “Wife”, ( no not a term of endearment just a term that he can live with to call me,not a bit of trophy in there, just plan ordinary squat, plump hobbit who sings ) hope, hope that love might at last come, that we might be somebody in someones eyes just once in our life, she lifts us out of the ordinary everyday sameness into a world that we can only imagine might be possible. She offers us hope, hope in a way that might better be called miracles. She stands there proud and strong knowing that her looks are that great, but that her voice is! She most certainly has made a place for herself in history books. I am a part time author, I would love to be able to publish her story. I think, personally and professionally that she is really wonderful beyond words!
