Hello :ciao:

Thought this would be a COOL thread here to shed some :yes: energy here...

So, what's the POSITIVE stuff you have learnt from Michael?

For me, its...

1. MEDS... BE CAREFULL WITH THEM...
Always read the 'leaflets' before you take them so you know all about the benefits and side effects...

2. TRUST IN YOURSELF... DO NOT trust any Doc with your life...
YOU are still the 'owner' of your own body... You have to LIVE with any disease of disability 24/7... YOU are the ONE with the HEALING power... A Doc can only 'fix' bones :smilerolleyes:

3. EAT... EAT... EAT...
Seriously, 3 meals a day even if you're NOT hungry or way too busy... Your body NEEDS food to function... NOW, I don't mean you have to plunge yourself into "comfort food eating" :doh: but just TRY to eat 'healthy'...

These are the 3 SMART and POSITIVE things that Michael 'taught' me...
Thanks Sweetheart :wub:
 
Hah, that's all the stuff I don't do, minus not trusting the doctor--I don't trust them at all.

It's good to see that you learned all this good stuff from him, though. I'm sure he's very happy he was able to teach you that, and that he would want all his fans to be healthy and happy.
 
Attention to detail.

DO NOT GIVE UP, do not give in and do not give up. Even when you think you couldn't possibly feel worse etc- do not give up.

I learned that I am not alone in my views of children- it gave me great comfort and affirmation to know that someone like him would in fact visit those that society didn't deem 'visible and visitable', even when his own wife called him an idiot for doing that.

Be yourself.

Read and learn. I didn't quite get his spiritual hunt as a teenager, but I applaud and thank him for being the 'popstar' who read anything from Tagore, the Upanishads- to Whitman. I thank him for proving to the world that success and something substantial going on underneath the hat is in fact desirable. I thank him for pushing me so severely toward spiritual explorations, THANK YOU.

And I thank him for proving to the world that it is okay and needed to speak of Love when all cynics would rather cut their tongue off- THAT takes courage and I thank him for the courage to keep going- he set an incredible example of determination for me while being human.
 
He showed us that schooling does not equate with an education--despite his lack of schooling, or perhaps because of it, Michael was more educated and intelligent than most. He proved to the world that when there is a desire to learn, a true love for knowledge, everything is interesting and can be learned.

His determination to care about and nurture others despite what "social norms" say was also very admirable--he would not let anyone go without feeling appreciated and cared for, even if other people tried to make something sinister out of his good intentions. That takes a Hell of a lot of courage to do, but he did it because he was genuine and kind.
 
WOW, such 'smart' replies :clap:
Indeed, I 'edited' the MEDS section... I actually don't take any 'chemical' ones anymore but ONLY the natural stuff...
With that being said...
Indeed, Michael is SMARTER than they thought and yep... Michael 'taught' me the "Spiritual" stuff too... I LIVE, I don't EXCIST...

Another thing is indeed... NEVER give up... I thought I couldn't write anymore due to my 'disablility' and see... I did the 'impossible' just through Michael... MJJCommunity and the MJ fam that 'believed' in me :clap:
 
Very inspirational, Daryll! Don't dabble in medications, I want you to be healthy, and I'm sure Michael wants you to be healthy too. That's the way he would have wanted it.

The way he lived his life should be an inspiration to us all, to care for each other, because we are interdependent, as social animals, supporting each other is of imperative importance.
 
Oh gosh, there is so so much I've learned from him that has greatly impacted my life. But I'll only name a few:
1) Do not judge a single soul, no matter what their "situation" may be. Especially if you are ignorant to it. Do not judge. I don't judge or condemn anybody, especially if I don't have the full story or if it is only hearsay. Michael was a victim of this sort of thing and I hate knowing how much suffering he went through because of it. I would never want anybody to experience what he has in that way. I do this on behalf of Michael, because he was victim to it. I follow the truth not lies. As Michael said, lies run sprints, but truths run marathons. It is all about the truth baby.
2) Be kind. It is not cliche. He has truly taught me the how important it is to be a kind person. He's inspired me to want to help people and be there for people, and be as kind and loving as I can to other. If they don't accept, then oh well. Still love them and move on. To me, Michael is one of the definitions of love. He was a man of love and kindness. All he wanted was peace and love for the world.
 
I agree, I learned a lot from him.
But for me the biggest thing is really LOVE. Not to be selfish (okay, I never was, but you know what I mean) and to really care for people even if they're strangers.
Which also leads to loving and appreciating yourself more and more. And to always believe in that love and in yourself, no matter how hard times can be...
 
I think a lot of what he was about was kindness in secret--to do good things when no one is looking, or seems to care. We know for sure the media didn't care at all about all the wonderful things he did for others, yet he did them because they brought joy to others, and that's what he was really all about.

Most people do good things to be admired, to be told how good they are, etc. Michael did good things despite some people in this world calling him the worst of names, and yet he continued doing what he knew was right nonetheless. You've got to admire him for that.
 
Well, I've got reply again as I wanted to just say :agree: Totally...
Indeed, Michael has taught us L.O.V.E unconditionally... How could I forget that in my list :doh:
Maybe its just it comes NATURALLY to me... I don't THINK I should be kind, nice loving... I JUST AM... NOT that I'm a 'floormat' okay you can walk all over... When you :mat: then I get all :kickass2:
But I'm BLESSED to have Michael in my life... He's the TRUE inspiration of all...
