I have a bunch of posts in draft that I have almost ready to post and I had plans of doing some Localism posts with some longtail keywords that I want to get calls on but then this came along.
I just had to show this to you!This is worth you emailing this post to everyone you know! Get your tissues ready! I am warning you that this is so inspirational that you will cry and smile at the same time. If this does not move your heart then your heart needs to be examined!
Remember always and forever that you are capable of much more than you are doing right now. That you must follow your dreams! That you must stretch and reach for your stars. So many people have dreams that lie dormant within their souls. They have given up on them but the dream is still there waiting to break free. We all have dreams. But most of us are afraid to look at them, afraid to share them, afraid they will never come true and so they settle for mediocre lives of day to day routines saying they are completely satisfied. If you are living like this, dare to search deep, deeper than you have ever been in your soul. What is your big dream! I am living my dream but there is always another dream! You do not ever arrive! Life is about growth.
You are capable of Extraordinary things! You were not put on this earth just to be a sheep following the masses. You are more than you imagine yourself to be. You are the greatest miracle ever created and this is your time to take a stand and shine! Reach down and examine your soul, what inspires you? What have you always wanted to do since you were a small child and have not ever done because you are afraid, lack the confidence or bought into the words that you are not good enough to do it?
Life is worth living! You deserve to do what you have always wanted to do? Have you wanted to sing, or paint, or speak or write or become a leader? Well, watch this video and feel this video.
Here is a man who did not settle for a mediocre moment! He seized the moment. But look at the judges before and after. Look at their faces. Check out the responses of the audience, listen to Paul's story, really listen. Look inside yourself and find your 'Paul'. Tell your story of greatness! And please share this post and this video with your loved ones!

Here is his award performance after he won, listen to what he has to say and how grateful he is after his performance. Listen to the crowds! And listen to what the judges say after his winning performance! He took Britain by storm!
Wow, blew me away, thank you for sharing. I was a little down today trying to pump my myself up by putting other down. But, this made me cry in my office.
Dave- I cry just thinking about this guy, the way he looks and who would ever know the talent that lay beneath and his dream! Thank you for viewing the video! It sure made my day today! Katerina
Matt- Thank you for your comment. Always, blessings and rewards! They are already here, most of us just can not see them as our minds are clouded with negatives. Make it a great day! Katerina
Katerina, I knew from your title that this was going to be interesting, but WOW!! Yes, tissues were needed! I'd wanted to send this You Tube to some people, but instead I'm forwarding them a link to your great inspirational post.
Yes, he won the finals! I just updated my post. If you go down to the bottom of the post under our signature block, you will see another video of his performance at the awards. Listen to what the judges say to him and feel that audience. He is a household name in Britain, this cell phone factory worker is now an Opera star and Britain's star! Katerina
Yes, he went on the win it all, read my update in the post and I added his performance after he won, it was also amazing, listen to what the judges say and what he says at the end. Katerina
Jeannette- Now, check out his final performance after he won the whole thing! I just updated my blog with it. WOW! The hair does stand up on your back! Katerina
Jason- I just watched his anchor performance after he won! I posted it below our signature! WOW! The sound of his voice reaches into your soul. Amazing! And what the judges say , Paul Potts is now a household word in Britain! Katerina
Marc- Check out his final performance, he wins the whole thing! It is so amazing, I cried again! We just forwarded this to our email database. What happens to this young man is nothing short or amazing! Thank you for sending it on! Katerina
James- Great, you go sell that house today! Not joking! Was that not just so amazing! I just updated the post with his final performance which I added to the bottom of my post, check it out! Katerina
Karen- You do not have to even like Opera to feel his voice and appreciate where he comes from and where he is going. I just updated my post with his final performance on the show and WOW! Check out the judges and the audience. He is one talked about name in Britain now! How cool is that! Katerina
Jason- You are welcome! I can watch this over and over; not only does his voice make goosebumps but his story is just so thrilling because he had NO self confidence. To see how he grew from his first audition to that winner performance, what a transformation! Katerina
After I saw this this morning - I spent 20 minutes finding out if he won. I found that winning performance on You Tube. WOW - and I dont even like Opera (ooops almost spelled Oprah) LOL!

OK, so I should wear waterproof mascara even when I'm blogging. WOW! I've seen this video before but it makes my eyes well up every single time. Thanks for sharing Katerina.
Bill- I had so many posts that were almost ready to post but when I came across this video I had to stop all that I was doing and post this man's gigantic and incredible story. Talk about living a dream! WOW, all of Britain knows his name and loves him! He had the voice to make it big in Opera! Katerina
This is truly a great story. When they interviewed him, he said that he still had not quit his job. He is waiting to see how it all works out, in case the fame is fleeting. He also wants to stay connected to the people he loves. What a story!
I saw this some time back (my daughter saw the original broadcast when she was in the Netherlands this past summer) and think it's just phenomenol. In particular, watching the change in the judges as they realize what's standing there in front of them. They ALL looked like they were on the verge of tears.
I don't even like opera, and he gives me chills. Got to get a copy of his CD.
Katerina, this is my all time favorite - I watch and listen to it almost as often as I watch and listen to Zippady Doo Dah! This fellow is beyond awesome.
That is inspirational...sometimes is is hard to feel confident in an unknown situation... you do have to believe in yourself Great story! Good for him!
I was wondering what had happened in the competition! What a wonderful voice--I hope he handles his success well and has a good manager. What an inspirational story. Thank you for sharing.
Katerina, thanks for sharing this. I hadn't seen or heard this story before. What an inspiration! One of my close friends and former mortgage lending partner is also an opera singer. He has sung with the Washington Opera and onstage with Placido Domingo. I'm going to forward this to him.
OK Katerina. You stopped my dead in my tracks with that one. What a way to begin the new year. I know I feel refreshed and ready to go this year. You keep up the inspiring posts and I know you'll have another amazing year - blessings to you!
Oh, my. That is about the best thing I've seen today. I've been a grumpy bear all day, and now I'm crying!! Thanks for posting this, I'm putting this on my blog right away. Thank you for sharing!
James, as soon as someone asked if he had won the whole thing, I went searching for the answer too! Since then, he is now traveling all over performing because he is such a high demand. Amazing! Even if you do not like Opera you got to know this is talent! Katerina
Tracey- Happy New Year! Isn't he just the most amazing story! I just love it. Now he is traveling around performing. What a talent! Send chills down my spine, goosebumps and tears, to cause such a stir of emotion is what a true voice should be able to do. Katerina
Sally- I just found out that he is being taken all over to perform, this cell phone factory worker with a dream, something he was born to do! And all that ever held him back was his lack of self confidence. It is so amazing! I am just so moved by people finding and using their talents to fulfill their dreams.
One of my dreams is to swim under water without fear. I am going to do that this year. I almost drowned when I was 2 so I have been afraid of putting my head under water. That is going to take all my guts to do but I know I want to overcome this fear. Even dreams like that are great to have. Katerina

Shawna- I totally agree, do not judge a book by its cover. Someone or many people said things to this man to make him no longer believe in himself and look at him now, he is traveling with his wonderful voice blessing lives. Katerina
Neal- He said he was afraid to quit his day job because he was not sure if this would last or not, well, now they are flying him everywhere and he is performing his fantastic talent living his dream he so richly deserves. Katerina
Hi Katerina...Yes this is a truly amazing story, about a little unknown singer who really has a great natural talent. I saw this unfold in the Fall and posted his interview on NBC on my Blog,when Paul went to New York to be interviewed on NBC's morning Show the day after he Won the talent competition! I understand he is on a world wide tour now and was very busy over the Christmas and New Year season.
Very Heart warming to see the little guy get recognised like this, The Judges were blown away with this performance in Britain...So You Think You Have Talent.
Don- The most inspirational story I have seen in a long time! I am so happy I was sent this video to watch. It is my passion to help others to do what this man did, shine against all odds, live his dream against all what others may say! Katerina
Thanks for bringing this post to our attention. Obviously a hit! Isn't it cool to surround yourself with the evidence that things CAN work out the way you envision them, instead of letting through all the evidence of why it is silly to dream big!!! And, thanks for sharing your vulnerable self about swimming-I know you'll master the challenge!!!
I was encouraged by your post. I have seen this young man on television and know he has the voice of an angel. Yes it does inspire you to really live your dreams. I am daily trying to reach higher goals. May you and yours be blessed an prosper in 2008.
Wayne- Thanks and yes, I totally agree, very amazing! What a wonderful moving story! Thanks for commenting. I appreciate you taking the time to read my blog! Katerina
Connie- I was told that now they are flying him around for performances. Someone commented that he just ordered his CD on line at Amazon, I am going to buy his CD too! Katerina
Gayle- Someone emailed me his video to watch and I was so inspired and had a very strong impression to write this post and post his video in the hopes that someone else would be touched, this is life changing stuff and I want people who have their dreams hidden deep inside and holding back from being all that they can be will awaken their dream! Katerina
Tricia- His CD is called One Chance. How appropriate was that title! This is by far the most inspiring story I have learned in a long time. You do not need to like Opera to appreciate this story! As you know now! Katerina
