What Michael Reminds Me of

You can’t turn on your radio or television without hearing about the king of pop, Michael Jackson who died much too young last week.

And Despite Michael's remarkable talent and contribution to the world of music and dance most of the news surrounding his death seem to be focusing on his financial life.

But what Michael reminds me of is how little money really matters in the end.

Even with all of Michael's success and money - Almost One Billion dollars in earnings - it could not buy him what he seemed to have wanted and needed most - acceptance, love and happiness.

Michael is a reminder that no matter how much money you have it cannot:

1. Heal a broken heart.
2. Protect or make you feel safe.
3. Make you feel good about yourself.
4. Make you feel whole and beautiful.
5. Give you a sense of self or self-acceptance.
6. Heal the pain you hold or the loneliness you feel.

So I encourage you to took a few moment to reflect on and honor just how much joy, beauty and music Michael brought into our lives in spite of his pain and use the energy and messages he shared to deepen your relationships and enjoy the short life you have - despite what you may not have!

Michael also reminded me of the "Lessons From Anna Nicole" you should give it a read.
