After Michael Jackson passed away, I was inspired to write a piece that I thought I’d reprint to celebrate his life, one year after his death. I hope you enjoy…

1.    Live with the belief that anything is possible. No matter how the media portrayed him or any of the obstacles he faced, Michael Jackson continued to believe. In his words: “In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.” You don’t need to be a pop star, politician or philanthropist to see your dreams actualized. We all have the power within us to dream big and reach awe-inspiring heights in our everyday lives. All we need do is see it, believe it and take action. Getting specific with your goals is also a great way to see your dreams come to fruition. Get a helping hand with Jack Canfield’s The Success Principles.
