Ok, so there is lots to drink but it makes for a catchier title! Today, before I headed out I saw a few minutes of Britain's Got Talent (amazing- that show is still going!). I caught a group of tenors- absolutely talented, they looked and sounded the part. The audience and other judges loved them but Simon Cowell was ever so hesitant for a millisecond.
On a side note, it's amazing the power that man has- one word from him can make or break your career, quite simply amazing! He has been incredibly believing and persistent in his lifetime. When he started out, Robson and Jerome (a British acting duo), sang Unchained Melody on the TV show they were in. The studio were inundated with requests for the song but R&J weren't singers etc. Simon saw the potential of it, bugged them to do it (despite legal threats to stop him harassing them!) and subsequently it became the biggest seller that year! He's always been a believer, he said something along the lines of 'I like what I like, I figure if I like it, then someone else will.' And that self believing philosophy has got him far! (Though he's not always right- Jennifer Hudson?! H-amazing!!!).
Anyhoo, back to Britain's Got Talent, there is so much talent out there, it is incredible.
So how does that translate to 'success' in the material world (although true success=joy!). It has to come down to alignment! There is such diverse strata on the talent-success spectrum: so many talented people struggling to make it, so many talented people doing incredibly well, but so many things which aren't that talented, yet for some reason capture the public's imagination- the colour of that dress phenomenon- what was that even about?! I remember the Stavros family from BGT many years ago- they impersonated Lord Of The Dance and were far from slick dancers, but the love that father and son shared, captured the nation's audience and they did pretty well! They were just happy to be along for the ride (in the post show interview, the father was busy stuffing his face with Ferrero Rochers!)
As Oprah put- there is no such thing as 'luck'- or at least 'luck' is preparation with the moment of opportunity. Success breeds success- the more you get out there and do well, the more it becomes your experience, your expectation and your knowingness. So go there in your mind if it's not happening in your physical reality (as it's already done in your vibrational reality might I add!). Get your consciousness up to speed. Go out into the world- mix it up, learn, share, fail, gain- just experience life from as aligned state as you can. Then success at some point must hit! You must just keep going at whatever it is, in whatever way it is. Ever if it's just trying a whole plethora of things because you don't know what you want to do. You're always expanding and it can only be a good thing!
So keep working at things you really love, mix it up, share your passions with those 'believing eyes.' All the greats have been through their failures, losses, depressions and abuses. But instead of letting that stop them, they went beyond.
I was watching Beyonce's performance at Made In America 2013- OMG so incredible! Being able to sing and dance and have that creative vision is wonderful. But she went through depression for two years (TWO YEARS! Not being able to eat or leave the room for chunks of time!), but as a result she's come out stronger and on top- (Net Worth $440,000,000 according to Wikipedia Dec 2014). It gave her her strong sense of knowing of what she expects from herself and her concerts- she changed the plethora of candles on her set because they were the wrong shade of colour. It's this fine tuning with which these experts take into their craft. Incredible!
Anyhoo, the takeaway message- is to believe and align with yourself. If you have a passion just keep at the physical and vibrational journey, get out there, mix it up and BOOM! You can be, do or have anything you want!
Happy talent-ing!!!
Lots of love, Nick Xxx
