It so easy to come to think that luck and fortune are only meant for the lucky few.
But then look at Susan Boyle from Scotland who was on Britain's got Talent, in I believe 2009.
She didn't exactly look the part, 47 yrs old, she allegedly had brain damage but later was (finally) diagnosed with Asperger's.
Everyone was sniggering behind their hand or openly, whether audience or jury. It looked like Simon Cowell had great difficulty to not ridicule her too much.
And then Susan started singing...
Everyone was moved and in awe, and she got a standing ovation!

Now... she has released a lot of albums, sold millions of copies, if she performs the show is sold-out within hours.
Someone tarted her up, she looks good now when performing, and someone had the good mind to do her eyebrows, cos damn! hihi.

And... she has a net worth of $40 million!
She's travelled the world to perform, doesn't have to prove anything anymore, does the thing she likes, and has a great team around her.

I just watched another clip of her performance in 2019, and yes, I cried.

Might be a good reminder when you feel down, that you're going round in circles, won't ever achieve anything, that it's not for you, that you're too old blabla...
It CAN happen!
No matter how old you are...
No matter what's wrong with you...
No matter what you look like...
It CAN happen, for you too!

:heart: :heart: :heart:

It has been wonderful watching her evolve, though my favorite
parts of her were when she first started..she is an original.

Were I working on a suicide hotline, that is what I would tell
a hopeless person, 'Right around the corner, how do you know
what awaits..'

You just never know.

I can not sing. I can permanently lose my voice. I have a medical condition with my vocal cords, they have nodules and permanent scaring, so I'm really just a jalapeno pepper away from losing my voice. But, thanks for bringing it up.

Because it holds emotion, probably related to her own Soul. When an artist creates something from the heart it is always carried via his/her own energy/essence/spirit.
If that is lacking, the creation feels cold, rather meaningless.

It wasn't an invite for people to sing, but alas.

Indeed, right around the corner!

I hadn't followed Susan, just stumbled upon something on the net that made me have a look.
And yes, that first time was really impressive.
But I find it equally impressive how she transformed into a woman that's actually attractive, without losing herself.

I know I get what you were saying.

Art is literally in my blood. My grandmother was an artist and some of her work has made it to the white house. I have family on both sides that have written books (one of which my grandmother illustrated). All my uncles on my mothers side were creative, knew how to play guitar and such. Most of my dreams have music in them and I often grind my teeth and click my tongue to music in my head.

I do web design, coding, and writing. I'm also colorblind, yet have won awards for my web design.

I self taught myself several instruments and how to read music. Would like to relearn and sharpen those skills though.

At this time though, I'm happy with letting my creativity flow through my work as a marketer, particularly focusing on writing.

That sounds good! Nothing better than being able to use your creativity in your work.
I think having it 'run in the family' so to speak can be very inspiring :)

Yeah, even my step grandfather had a bit of creativity. My grandparents would make arts and crafts, my grandfather would build things out of wood and my grandmother would paint them. They would sell them at crafts shows, even had people coming to their house to buy them.

Yes, I'm able to use my creativity more freely for my own projects. For clients, I feel it gets a bit restricted though.

The most successful people in the world seek not fame or fortune. They make it happen and do not rely on luck.

Success requires action, dedication and intent.
If you think "It could happen to you", you are pipe dreaming.

Not to say unexpected good fortune never happens, it does happen. However, most times it is wasted and lost because the discipline needed to maintain it was not 'earned' but 'found'.

Great to know. Does this mean I can be fortunate enough to once again get erections just from the wind blowing as happened in my teens? Now over 50, the wind would need to blow MUCH harder (no pun intended) for the same effect to happen. Maybe hurricane winds in fact. But hey, it still works quite well so I guess I shouldn't "complain".

Another even more incredible example...

In 2007 two young guys moved to Frisco, no job, no money to pay the rent, and they thought of something to make an extra buck. They bought to air mattresses: Airbnb was born.

One of the founders Brian Joseph Chesky now has a net worth of... 14,9 BILLION dollar!
And Airbnb conquered the whole world.

Something as silly simple as that, two air mattresses.

It really CAN happen. All you need is an idea that you believe in.
