Check it out..! Enjoy readings ;)
YOU'VE GOT TO FIND WHAT YOU LOVE
1. Connecting the Dots
Jobs said, “You can’t connect the
dots looking forward, only connect them looking backwards. So, you have to
trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in
something; your gut, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down
and it has made all the difference in my life”.
2. Love and Loss
“WE NEED PATIENT”
Sometimes life hits you in the
head with a brick. But don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that
kept me going was that I loved what I did. We’ve got to find what we love. And
that is as true for your work as it is your lovers.
Your work is going to fill a large
part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you
believe is a great work. And the only way to do a great work is to love what
you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking, don’t settle. As with all
matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And , like any great
relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.
So, keep looking until you find
it. Don’t settle.
3. DEATH
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon
is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choice
in my life. Because almost everything all external expectations, all pride, all
fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of
death, leaving only what is truly important.
Remembering that you are going to
die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to
lose. There’s no reason not to follow your heart.
No one wants to die. Even the
people who want to go to the heaven don’t want to die to go there. And yet,
death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is
as should be, because death is very likely the single best invention life. It’s
life change agent. It cleans out the old to make way for the new. Right now the
new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the
old and be cleared away.
Your time is limited. So, don’t
waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t trapped by dogma – which is living
with the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’
opinions down out your own inner voice and most important, have courage to
follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what truly want to
become. Everything else is secondary..
Stay
Hungry…..Stay Foolish
