brings me gratitude.
Like the rest of the world I am shocked by the death of Michael Jackson, actually more in disbelief. He just seemed immortal and larger than life. The memorial yesterday certainly made it real.
Was I a fan? Sure, at points in my life, I was. Certainly not fanatic, though. Did I think his life was strange? Yes, absolutely. Does his music make me want to get up and dance? Always!
When 'Man in the Mirror' came out I was in grade 8. Amazing song, of course, but I didn't quite get the message then. Listening to it now it inspires me to 'change the world'. In order to do this it starts with ourselves. Small changes inspire big changes. Perhaps those changes in yourself will inspire your partner, or your child, or your siblings, or your co-worker or your boss or your next door neighbor or the bus driver to be a better person.
The change in myself over the last 7 months have been incredible. More aware, present, motivated, inspired, less reactive (still working on this one), less afraid, more myself.
Michael Jackson made such huge impact on so many generations of people that he really did change the world but he had to have his own personal goals to make it happen.
"If you want to make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make the change".
Thank you, Michael!
Absolutely incredible video!
