Remembering Michael Jackson

Lindsey Root - Tuesday, July 07, 2009
Today is a day we will always remember in history, the memorial of a legend, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.  Whatever your opinions are on Michael Jackson, whether positive or negative, I think one thing we can all agree on is he was a musical legend.  From his dance skills to his singing, when he performed he kept everyone in awe.  His music, dance moves, and videos will keep his legend alive forever.

As I was thinking today about the legend Michael Jackson is leaving behind it made me think, what kind of legend will I leave behind?   What will people say about me when I’m gone?  I think sometimes when you are overweight you don’t live your life to the fullest.  I tend to find myself thinking “when I’m skinnier I will be happy” or “when I’m skinnier than I can try that or do that” What I realize is that I’m only holding myself back from enjoying life.   Life is too short to let image consume your happiness.  Make your legend now.
