"Bob Marley"

Robert Nesta Marley became a reggae legend known as Bob Marley.
Today, May 11, 2007 marks the 26th anniversary of his transition from physical life. It is reported that his last words to his son Ziggy were, "Money Can't Buy Life."

His words of wisdom continue to resonate from beyond his grave. (At least for me)
I contemplate the word itself "Life" and it's true definition. I've often heard the word life being associated with some negative event or circumstances like "Life's a B*@#$" or "Life is short."
Yet here is a man whom on his deathbed has somehow captured the essence of what the true meaning of life is.

Bob grew up under modest conditions and I'm sure that his fame brought him a lifestyle that far exceeded his humble background. Based on his last statement I think it would be safe for me to assume that at one time in his life he placed monetary achievements well above the gift of life itself.

In the midst of the whirlwind of activity surrounding "The Secret" and " The Law of Attraction" I must admit that I've become a little disappointed by how much emphasis is being placed on the "things" aspect of these spiritual laws. I'm almost positive that the purveyors of these spiritual tools intended that the lesson of prosperity in it's entirety be embraced. Money is just one component of prosperity, without all of the pieces i.e Health (physical , Mental, Emotional, Spiritual) prosperity ceases to exist.

What began as a casual Internet journey , turned into a provocative philosophical lesson once I came across what I thought at first was a bit of History Trivia.
