Don't Always Believe What You Hear: The Power of Negative....and Positive Words

I know, I know...reality shows like American Idol, Biggest Loser, and X-Factor always try to find the feel-good stories, but this one truly is a good story. As a counselor, I am drawn to the words this lady speaks at the beginning. She didn't follow her passion and dreams because someone she loved and respected told her she wasn't good enough. When she finally stopped listening to him and listened to her heart (and hopefully other close friends), she decided to give her dream one more shot. And it wasn't easy, but finally, we get to see her one shot. And she doesn't disappoint. Watch the video below. It is 8 minutes of your day that could change you. In fact I hope it changes us all. This week, don't say negative things to others....be a dream producer. Be the person who got this lady on stage. Change someone's life.
