A friend sent me an email of this video recently:

View this movie at cultureunplugged.com

I found this video link on another fellow blogger's page:

Susan Boyle

And found another video from the link above that really stunned me:
Flawless
That was a very sincere and heartfelt compliment from Simon :)

"Chase the dream, not the competition."
I'm with you, mates. Always the same motto at heart too. :)

It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you.

That's all that matters.

What's your dream, my child?

"It's time to start living the life you've imagined.- Henry James"

A dream for me (and I believe there are many others too) to accomplish:

Chorus:
Lord, Make us instruments of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let your love increase
Lord, make us instruments of your peace,
Walls of pride and prejudice shall cease
When we are your instruments of peace.

Where there is hatred, we will show his love
Where there is injury, we will never judge
Where there is striving, we will speak his peace
To the millions crying for release,
We will be his instruments of peace

Lord, Make us instruments of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let your love increase
Lord, make us instruments of your peace,
Walls of pride and prejudice shall cease
When we are your instruments of peace.

Where there is blindness, we will pray for sight
where there is darkness, we will shine his light
Where there is sadness, we will bear their grief
To the millions crying for relief,
We will be your instruments of peace.

-Instruments of Peace by Kirk and Devy Dearman 1993 from Songs of Faith and Praise, Alton H. Howard
