The passing of Michael Jackson is truly the end of the era. I still remember seeing him dance for the first time and being just astounded that a human could physically move like that. He’ll forever be my King of Pop. Like all great

The 5 Most Important Things I Learned From Michael Jackson

1. A single person can still move a planet of 6 billion people to tears of joy, heart-pounding excitement, and gasps of sheer wonder.
2. With dedication and commitment, you can do things nobody has ever done before – ever – in the history of the planet. (What could you do?)
3. The media loves to create super stars – and it loves to tear them down. (What would it take for our press to be a more purely positive force in our world?)
4. Fame and fortune do not = happiness. (Only changing your habitual ways of thinking can make you happy.)
5. Plastic surgery still has a long way to go…
6. Bonus Lesson: The concept of a flawless “hero” is a myth. Nobody has ever lived their life perfectly.

Thanks for all the great times, Michael. May you rest in peace. Your pain is over…
