I got this video from a link I saw from someone I follow on Twitter @undercover. It is a lead up to the theatrical release of the movie, This Is It. It has been less than four months on June 25, 2009 that Michael Jackson died. When I look at this video, the thought I get is: “Did he really feel that this was his second chance of a comeback when he was rehearsing? Was he confident with himself? How did he feel getting ready to go out to millions of people who had shunned him because of all the allegations with children?
I don’t need to write about all the controversies and what he did because it’s well known.I don’t want to judge what I don’t know as fact. I am 50:50 on whether he did abuse children. But the fact remains that this man was someone who used music to change an industry and how we view entertainment. He was one of the first to create a music video. He did put an imprint on the world. He was famous, eccentric and seemed off the wall. Yet, he was a human being. He said many times that he lost his childhood because all he did was work, work, work in his young age. But all that work, work, work made a difference in the world.
Well, unfortunately he didn’t get his second chance of a comeback. But what about the rest of us? What are we doing with our lives for a second chance. So what if you have screwed up before. With a clear mind, good intention utilizing your innate talents, I do believe there is always a second chance, or third or fourth…etc… I think the title This Is It is aptly named….The Time Is Right Now. Stop Waiting.
