Most of the people I've spoken to today saw at least part of the Michael Jackson Memorial Concert on tv yesterday. Everyone seems to have an opinion on him, his life, the Memorial Concert. There's certainly plenty of fodder to form an opinion about! The thing that no one could fail to notice was the positive spin that's been put on Jackson and his life - it's almost as if the controversy that's blighted him in so many ways in recent years never existed.

What might we be able to learn from this, looking at the bigger picture? For me, I guess there's something about the power of the positive. I very much like the idea that the positive components of my life ultimately wield much more power than the negatives. We can't yet know how the history books will treat Jackson but yesterday's spectacle was, quite simply, extraordinary!
