Who I Was Born To Be

This is my current favorite song, beautifully sung by Susan Boyle.

Ms Boyle has a voice that is angelic and so uplifting.

The song is really meaningful as it represents the story of Ms Boyle and who she is born to be.

How is it that she suddenly burst into our collective consciousness and grab our attention so fast and so easily?

Well, Susan Boyle has always have the talent to sing like an angel. However, the timing was not right for her to present her talent to the world until last year, when she appeared on the X-Factor talent show.

Think about this for a moment. If she had started her singing career when she was younger, she may not have made the impact that she did.

The Universe has to prepare the grounds for her to manifest her talents that she can share with the world and uplift our spirits during this troubling times.

If there were no YouTube, I doubt that she would have made such a world-wide impact. Her performance on X-Factor was shown on YouTube and there were hundreds of millions of viewing of her raw performance, singing "I Dreamed A Dream" from the Broadway show "Les Miserables". So her talent was exposed to the widest audience possible in the easiest way due to the existence of YouTube.

If Susan Boyle had started her singing career earlier, there would not have been a show like X-Factor that served as a platform for her to sing her songs to a huge audience. She would not have gotten the endorsement of Simon Cowell, giving her instance validity and celebrity status.

So, the Universe has the make sure that all the elements were in place before Susan Boyle could be launched into our collective consciousness at the critical time when we dearly need some inspiration.

The past 3 years have been brutal to many of us who had suffered due to the Great Financial Crisis. Morale is down with lots of people losing their jobs, their life savings and their dreams. In such a dark time, we all need some sunshine, some hope of better days ahead.

And the Universe deliver Susan Boyle to us, for her to share with the world her spectacular talent. Her soaring vocals and beautiful soul give all of us the inspiration, the hope and the energy to believe that tomorrow will be a better day.

Why is it that many talented people is presented to the collective consciousness just when we need them at the most critical point?

Why was Elvis Presley so famous just after the WW II when we need hope? Is it any surprise that we have the divas of the 80s and 90s with all their individual, beautiful voices?

Why did the Google founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, come together so appropriately at the perfect timing when the Internet world needs a good search engine?

Would our world have been very much different if there were no Bill Gates or Steve Jobs was born 20 years later? Can you imagine if there were no Google, Microsoft or Apple in your lives?

Why did Mylie Cyrus become such a big success at such a young age with Hannah Montana? It is because the Universe knows that she can serve as an inspiration to the many young people like her, that it is possible to follow your dreams.

So too is Susan Boyle serving as an inspiration to all of us. An inspiration that even when you are in your forties, it is still possible for all your dreams to come true.

So, please do not feel discourage that you have talents that are not recognized. Perhaps, the timing is not right yet and the Universe needs to prepare the sweet ground for you to be successful.

Therefore, do not give up your dreams. Continue dreaming and doing the things that you love. Your talents will be valued when the time is right.

Just believe who you are born to be...
