"The Voice"



Normally I don’t get hooked on TV shows but I have to admit that I did watch the recent reality talent show “The Voice.   In particular, the journey of two of the contestants who overcame huge difficulties in their lives was very inspiring.

Both of these girls, along with all of the competitors had the courage to overcome their fear and self–doubt to risk achieving a dream.

As in any competition there was only one official winner.  One competitor achieved the title of “The Voice” however I believe that every contestant was a winner.

From those that applied and didn’t get an audition, to those who made it to the Grand final, each one would have been inspired to practice harder, prepare and improve their voice.

Just imagine what they would have missed out on if they had not had the courage to take that first step!

                      What’s your dream?

                                        What’s the first step?

             
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.   So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the SAFE harbour.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore, Dream, Discover”    Mark Twain

Everybody in the World is Seeking Happiness


I am currently reading an amazing book that has some profound thoughts on happiness……

“Everybody in the world is seeking happiness – and there is one sure way to find it.  That is by controlling your thoughts. 

Happiness doesn’t depend on outward conditions.  It depends on inner conditions.

It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy.  

It’s what you think about”   (taken from ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People  by  Dale Carnegie) 

What do you think??
