I feel like I have written this type of post 1000 times, and perhaps I have done so.
What I take from this fact is mere confirmation that the concept of the repeated post is true...sadly yet at the same time, thankfully for all of is because we can learn from it.
Another very public celebrity death and horror story only solidifies it for me.
Whitney Houston, as she also ironically sang in one of her many hit songs, did indeed seem to "have it all"!
At least in the material sense.
Beauty, amazing, wealth, fame, and celebrity success beyond imagination, a voice that sounded like it came directly from the heavens, adoration and everything we all seemingly strive for in our lives.
Yet, despite reaching that amazing pinnacle, her life tragically ended, alone, in a bathtub, at a way too early age.
We have seen it dozens of times in the past decade and every time the lesson hits us in the face like a ton of bricks.
But do we really get it?
I am not sure.
We chase all the things these people obtain and appear to achieve, yet these highly coveted things have one thing in common - they are fleeting and do not deliver the truly important things in this world!
We see it again and again and again yet it does not always sink in for us.
"What does it profit a man to gain the whole world only to lose his soul?"
Do not seek outside of us the things that truly make us wealthy and rich,and fulfilled, for these things cannot be bought, sold, or stolen.
Let's see if this latest tragic lesson of empty promises and sadness drives it home for us. This time.
Stay Strong!
