Why is this noteworthy? Because Bublé at 43 years of age has
experienced the importance of life in searing reality. His 5-year-old son,
Noah, has suffered from cancer now in remission. He has three children, but Noah
posed the life and death struggle.
Michael Bublé knows something today that he didn’t a little
while ago. He values life. He delves into its meaning. He is now free to pursue
that which is important and life-giving. Music industry stardom didn’t bring
that to him. Oh, he’s good and very popular. But he admits to working for the
reward – money, ticket sales, award show galas, recognition and all the rest. He
has all that. But he realized it was not as valuable as life itself.
Noah taught him that. Noah’s life held in jeopardy by a thin
thread, taught him that.
I have a hunch Bublé’s future artistic success will be
authentic, smashing and huge. That’s what happens when you focus on ideas,
creation and inventive genius. Let it be. Don’t force it. Do what’s natural. The
rest will follow if it will; if it doesn’t, so what?
This lesson is pure gold. The rest of us can learn from it.
When we value something too much, we fear losing it. Fear destroys
joy. It also robs us of spirit and creativity.
Time to get back to what is important. What makes you
joyful? What makes you happy? Is it the simple things? is it each other? Or is
it riches and possessions?
Time to think. Weigh. Value.
