Sarah Brightman sings your wake up call today with this video. Some say she has the voice of an angel. Although I think Paul Potts still motivates me best with his story from rags to riches, pursuing his dream when he sings this song. Enjoy this video as you take on your day.

Do dreams come true?
Dream fulfillment – does it really start with a decision?

Lack of confidence is a dream KILLER!

Bullied as a boy, Paul Potts found his escape in music, in singing. His voice was his best friend.

He “almost” gave up his passion for singing. In debt, after years of illness, he all but abandoned his passion for Opera.

Until he got on Britain’s Got Talent, Paul was in “settle-mode.”

Paul said, “I settled in to being a mobile sales person…”

His mindset was stuck in “I’m-not-good-enough-mode.”

Mr. Potts admitted, “I almost didn’t send the application in…”

Wow! The world would’ve missed out BIG TIME if he listened to the dream-killing-demons of doubt.

What is the world missing out on when you hold back your talents, skills and abilities? What drives you? What kind of difference would your life be like if you “took a chance” and pursued YOUR dreams?

From Rags to Riches

To all of those bullies out there…
Paul says, “Thank You!”

To all those who say, I hope his success doesn’t change Paul Potts, now that he’s won, and made his dreams come true… I say – I hope it DOES!

I hope he “settles in” to his REAL destiny for his life, full of unstoppable confidence, love and respect for himself, and those around him; I hope he reaches ALL his dreams this year: quickly paying off his debts, fulfilling his next dream of finally having a family of his own, and is successfully singing and selling his music to the world for the rest of his life.

Yes – I hope this DOES change Paul Potts, and he loves every single minute of it.

God knows – the world is a much better place now that we all got the chance to meet Paul Potts!

To all you who worry about people staying “humble” (which really means “staying down on yourself”) don’t worry – he’ll always be “Paul Potts”, but he’ll be a more fulfilled Paul Potts because his spirit has now been filled as he is living his true destiny. The world has recognized his talent, and we all benefit as a result of Paul Potts pursuing his dream.

Success eluded this Welshman… lack of confidence almost killed his destiny… until… one day… he “took a chance”, he “made a decision” and most importantly, he “took action!” He submitted his application, and pursued his dream – despite what the voices tried to prevent him from doing. WOW! What a Triumph!

What will YOU do TODAY to pursue YOUR Dreams?

Remember – the world will be a much better place when YOU live YOUR Destiny.

Don’t let ANYONE tell you different – especially that still small voice you hear in your head called FEAR.

Instead – listen to your Coach – and pursue your Destiny every day! Take some type of small action each and every day to make your dreams come true. Because one day, you’ll wake up, and realize you’re living your true purpose – and the world will thank you for it!

To those of you who have bullies in your life (either real or in your head) thank them – because ultimately, they made you a stronger person. Use Paul Potts as a source of inspiration for your dreams.

Get past the negative thinking – the “bullies in your mind” and remember – YOU ARE SOMEBODY!!! You’re __________ __________!!! (Fill in the blanks with your name.)

PAUL POTT’S FINAL PERFORMANCE on Britain’s Got Talent

What are YOU here for?

It was the judges question to Paul Potts, but I’ve found that as human beings placed on this earth, we often ask ourselves this same question… “What am I here for?”

Paul Potts reveals in this video:

This competition has been the BEST thing that’s ever happened to me. I wasn’t even sure if I should enter the competition…

And to come from that position, to being in the final round, is just… Mind-Blowing!

I just can’t believe that all this is happening — to ME!
It’s transformed me from a guy who has had NO confidence in himself whatsoever, to showing me that I CAN achieve things… I just have to BELIEVE in myself.

I can finally walk around with my head held high.

I’m starting to feel like somebody now.
And I don’t want that to change.

Watch Paul Pott’s final performance on “Britain’s Got Talent”.
I dare you not to have goosebumps…
I dare the hair on your back not to go up…

Coaches Tip from this series:

As you’re following this 5-part video series on Paul Potts, watching his performance with each round he moves to, and now in his final performance on “Britain’s Got Talent”, remember this:

YOU can BEGIN feeling more confident — this very moment. You don’t have to wait to feel this way. You just have to believe.

Start walking around holding your head high TODAY – because you ARE somebody!

Every cell of your body, every fiber in your being was formed and created by someone who loves you more than you can ever imagine. If you had an inkling of the depth of this extraordinary love, you’d NEVER hang your head low again!

You are here for a purpose. Discover that purpose. Pursue that purpose. Though it may take all your life – and all you’ve got – continue holding your head up, reaching for the skies, and pursuing your dreams.

Because THAT, my friend – is what LIFE is all about.

Then celebrate with me – knowing you’ve got a friend in this world who wants the BEST for you – and rejoices in your success and happiness – as though it were my own.

Paul Potts Semi Final winning performance

Paul Potts admits, “I’ve always had a problem with confidence.”

Watch this man, Paul Potts, transform himself and his confidence level from his 1st performance in yesterday’s post, to this next performance on “Britain’s Got Talent”.

I recommend after watching this 2nd performance, you watch the first 60 seconds of Paul Pott’s video capturing his 1st public performance in yesterday’s post and see the difference for yourself.

It’s amazing what a little bit of confidence does for a person’s countenance, body posture and soul. It’s incredible to see how far a little bit of recognition from others will go for lifting a man’s soul to reach his Destiny.

Paul Potts admitted his fears in the beginning of this video, “My Voice has always been my best friend. If I was having problems at school, with bullies, I always had my voice to fall back on.

I don’t know why people bullied me…
I was always a little bit different.
That’s why I think I struggle with self-confidence.

But when I’m singing… I don’t have that problem.
I’m in the place where I should be.” (I LOVE this line!)

Do you have something like this in your life?

Times when nothing else matters. There’s no fear, no worry, no anxiety – you just feel complete, because you’re doing what you were born to do.

Paul Potts reflects, “All my life, I’ve always felt insignificant.”

(It breaks my heart anytime I hear this from anyone.)

“But after that first performance, I realized – I AM somebody – I’m Paul Potts!”

When asked what it feels like now that he took the chance, pursued his dream to perform in public and now receiving such an overwhelmingly positive response from people everywhere, Paul Potts describes the feeling,

“It’s like “jelly”.
It’s been like I’m on a roller coaster ride.
Like being on a bus and I just don’t want to get off! I don’t want the bus to stop!”

What do you enjoy doing that completes you? What can you do right now to pursue your dreams and live out your destiny? Let Paul Potts continue to inspire you as you follow this 5-part video series over the next few days.

And remember – BE CONFIDENT – it makes all the difference to your ultimate success!

“To spend my life doing what I feel I was born to do…
