Step up to the plate and show us what you can do!

I  was tweeting along...and came across this post by tamaradorris that I had not watched in a while.  After watching this incredibly awe inspiring performance it got me to thinking about how we evaluate a person without really knowing much about them at all.

On the surface it would seem like Paul Potts was going to be a complete dud as a performer, that is until he opened his mouth and began to sing.  You can see that in an instant he had won over every person in that auditorium and moved many of them to tears.  Mr. Potts didn't exude confidence but what he did do was put himself out there and showcased his talent.  He was very humble and unassuming but a risk taker and that leads me to my point.  That kind of special talent lies within everyone of us!!! (well minus the singing talent in my case).

What I took away from watching this video again was:

• Stepping out and taking risks is necessary to succeed
• Talents are not something to be hidden from others
• Sharing a talent will inspire the people around you
• People are looking to be inspired in their lives
• Being considered an underdog is a good thing

So remember to share your talents with others no matter what they might be.   We want to get to know the real you!
