Strong words from Michael...

[love is magical]

Alma, thank you for writing a post with so much wisdom.

all true words... but this bit i can not bring together with putting up statues of himself all over the world.

That was promotion for his 'music albums' ! And also, a reminder of exactly what he states in the beautiful words shared by the original poster-believe in yourself no matter what, be strong, fight for what you believe is right, don't give up, be a warrior! Remember in HIStory, which is His Story in so many ways, he sings, "Look who's standing if you please, though you're trying to bring me to my knees." with those statues, he's not being arrogant, but strong and courageous, inspiring others and himself to keep the faith, stand tall and fight the good fight!

Michael is THE most humble, down-to-earth, gracious person I'll ever know, and when you are the GREATEST artist, the most FAMOUS human being and the most IDOLIZED person in the whole wide world, being so humble, kind, generous,caring, giving, down-to-earth is just astounding! He taught me all these virtues and I'm forever in awe of his modesty, humility and grace!

And THANKYOU ShineGloveShine for sharing these most inspiring words...God bless you Michael You'll always be our HERO!

"No matter what, the most powerful thing in the world is the human mind; and prayer, belief in yourself, and confidence and perseverance, no matter how many times you do it... you do it again until it's right, and always believe in yourself and no matter who's around you that's being negative, or flustering negative energy at you; totally block it off. Just whatever you believe you become, yes and after all of that. The most important, the MOST important. Stay humble, be as humble as that a child a new-born baby had; even though you become powerful... or have power with people; with your talent, y'know with Michaelangelo did with sculpting, y'know underneath all that, be as humble as a child, a baby and as KIND and as GIVING and LOVING. Never become puffed up with pride, I triggered that to my parents who always taught us too: perceiver, believe in yourself, have confidence in no matter what you do... even if you are sweeping floors or painting ceilings: do it better than anybody in the world, no matter what is you do. BE THE BEST AT IT. Have respect for others, and be proud of yourself and to honour, to be honourable".

I am not sure if this has been posted, but oh my gosh. They were powerful words and idolizing.

Thank You

Peace, Happiness, L.O.V.E

God Bless Always ~~~

I wish more people could listen to such words, really listen. ...

people are deaf, and blind, and close-minded,they just don't want to work on themselves... all they care about is mediocrity... that's why Michael was unique, cause he always took it to a higher level - he was bigger than life. and bigger than death,too.
