Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma.

The thing you call life
Quote
Once you discover one simple fact, and that is everything around you that you call life, was made up by people that were no smarter than you.

Love what you do
The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Follow your heart
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Do not worry if it does not make sense
You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Steve Jobs
This is a very important quote.
We tend to forget that all the things that feel so logical and understandable from today’s perspective weren’t all that self-evident back when decisions had to be made.
In the chaos of everyday life you have to make a lot of decisions without knowing enough about the big picture to make the best decision as of right now. But still, you have to make those decisions and even not making them is basically a decision, although most likely not a good one.
Instead of overanalyzing or being paralized by fear of doing wrong, just trust yourself, trust your feelings and ideas and most importantly: Trust that it will work out in the end. After all, it has worked out until know, has it not?
