Michael Jackson was an influential person in the world of music. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny that.

But what makes Michael Jackson so interesting, and why he and his music is so catchy and famous even today?

Let's dig into his life and know more about odd and interesting facts about him.Image

1. Jackson’ didn’t learn to play music on his own.

- Whilst growing up, Michael Jackson’s father, Joe Jackson, would force Michael alongside his siblings to practice music.

- He would often hit or whip them if they played the wrong note or made a mistake.

- Growing up in this environment forced Michael to be the best at what he did musically and caused a lot of mental pressure on him.Image
2. He lived in a theme park.

- Some people might think this is a dream home, but others might think it is a little odd.

- Michael Jackson turned his ranch into a half home, half amusement park which had a petting zoo, roller coasters, railroads, bumper cars, a Ferris wheel, and a carousel.

- The ranch was called Neverland and is now worth $100 million.
3. Michael Jackson’s skin colour changed because of skin disease.

- If you compare a photo of Jackson early in his career to one towards the end, you will notice a dramatic change in his skin tone..

- Jackson’s doctor said that he had Vitiligo, but a lot of people believe that his change in skin tone was on purpose and that he was ashamed of his natural skin tone.Image
4. Michael Jackson was crowned a king.

- In 1992 Jackson visited the West coast of Africa and He was loved so much that they decided to make him king.

- A full ceremony was held, including dancing and traditional drumming, Jackson dressed in a traditional gown for his coronation, and papers were signed to make his kingship official.

- Upon his death, a two-day ceremony was held in his memory, and more than 1,000 local villagers gathered.
5. He invented gravity-defying shoes!

- You might be familiar with his famous moonwalk and the ability to lean at what should be a near-impossible angle for humans.

- This was all because of his gravity-defying shoes. The US Patent No. 5,255,452 was given to Jackson to use for his famous performance.

- The shoes had specially designed slots where they could clip into the stage to hold him in place whilst he did his stunt against gravity.

- Unfortunately, the patent expired in 2005 when Jackson missed a payment, so the design was out in the open.Image

The healing method your Doctor will never prescribe:

Grounding.

It naturally heals health issues like:

• Poor Sleep
• Inflammation
• Chronic Pain

But how?

Here's what it is, how it works, & how you can start using it to heal 🧵 Image
What is grounding?

Grounding (or "earthing") is the practice of reconnecting with the present moment using your senses or physical contact with the Earth.

It's been shown to:

• Lower cortisol
• Calm the nervous system
• Reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and chronic pain.
Stress pulls you into your head.

Grounding pulls you back into your body.

It:

• Signals safety to your brain
• Brings your mind back to now
• Activates your parasympathetic nervous system

And when your nervous system feels safe?

Your body can finally relax.

The biggest improvement in my life came when I realized happiness is just a product of "good habits".

9 habits I used to unf*ck myself:
1. Say No by Default

Your time's precious: don't give it to people who don't deserve it.

Especially to Energy Vampires who drain your energy.

Conquer FOMO and put yourself first - my rule of thumb is if it's not a f*ck yes, it's a no.
2. Get Addicted to Learning

I put time aside daily before bed to read.

At first, it was tough to stay consistent - but the more I did it, the more its effects compounded.

Your information diet is just like your actual diet: if you eat crap, you'll feel crap.
