What pulls at your Heart?

There are a couple of things that pull at the strings of my heart!  I bet that you would never hear a man say something on this line, huh?  Well you have now I have to go and explain myself.  So for the purpose of this writing I will only focus on one of the few things that tug at my heart.

I was watching Tuesday nights' edition of Americas' Got Talent.  Ok, I have watched just about all of this year's offerings so far.  I have a soft spot for folks that make it and this year there were a couple of people that really brought a tear to my eyes.  Fess up you had a couple too if you have been following the show. 

Last nights' show had two people that at the start of their performance set me up to be a big baby.  One was a lady that put her baby girl up for adoption at birth and found her thru myspace.  She set her dreams of becoming a singer on hold and now 21 years later was on stage singing her heart out.  Then there was the final act of the night, a soldier that had just come back from a 15 month stint in Iraq.  This guy again was awesome too.

So, in looking at I find people that overcome and never loose sight of their dreams set me up to be very proud of them whether I know them or not.  It is this caliber of people that win out in the end and achieve their dreams.  And I will tear up why, because they win they overcome that that has held them back!

It is this kind of inspiration that we should look at and try to emulate.  Not turn back because it is too tough or we don't make this month's goal but, keep our dream of being a success in whatever it is we are working at in front of us.  Don't loose sight of what you want to achieve.
