Everything, everything is a lesson. You have to live the best life you can. Today. Tonight. Right now. You have to help people however you can. You have to be a light wherever you can. This is all you have. Right now is all you have.

A troubled life is only part of your story. Ultimately, what peole think about you doesn’t matter when you’re here or when you’re gone. What’s true does. So you have to make sure your truth is the best you have to offer. Our truth is relative to ourselves. You can’t live anyone else’s truth. It’s your own. Whatever that means to you, that’s how it is. We can’t spend our lives waiting to do better tomorrow. We can’t spend our lives wishing we did something or said something. We can’t spend our lives agonizing about what we did or said in the past. The present moment is what we have and that’s what we have to deal with.

Rest in Power, Michael Jackson. May the next realm offer you the salām that this world never could.
