My mother sent me a link to a ‘golden buzzer’ performance from America’s Got Talent. It was the typically addictive golden buzzer performance that never fails to melt my heart. It felt good to watch something so positive and full of hope.
I searched for the video this week thinking I might write about it. Thinking we could use a dose of hope and positivity. Wondering about it being a little too saccharine. A little too easy in a world that doesn’t feel so easy right now. As I searched, I found another video from AGT (I think that is what the insiders call it). Equally full of hope and positivity, it contained another ingredient. The most important ingredient.
As Simon Cowell later noted, and it’s palpable, there is an unmistakable energy from the minute W.A.F.F.L.E walk on stage. What they did on stage didn’t really matter. Although it’s easy to say that because what they did was excellent. But I kind of didn’t care. They were electric. Electric in that way people get when they are really clear about what is important to them. Electric in that way people get when they are determined about their path in life.
When you have that clarity, and alignment, you can fall or stumble and it doesn’t matter. You can get stuff wrong, and let’s face it we are all getting stuff wrong at the moment, and still be track to getting it right. Not that they stumbled - well not that I could see, they were moving around pretty darn quickly.
Such is the way of the entrepreneur, the student, the child, the athlete and the artist. Such is the way of the squiggler. Hopefully this is also the way we will choose as humans.
