There is no reason not to follow your heart....

Apple's visionary leader, Steve Jobs died from cancer this week at the age of 56.   He was a creative genius and an inspiration to many.  His brilliance, passion and energy have brought us countless innovations that make our world a better place.  In his honor, I've collected some  of his powerful words of wisdom that I've found most inspiring..... 

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. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”  ~Steve Jobs

**************************************

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking.  Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.  And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.  Everything else is secondary.”  ~Steve Jobs


 For more inspiring words, listen to his famous commencement speech given in 2005 .....

It's so sad, 56 years old.  Such a visionary.  I pray for his family and his soul.  He's probably up in heaven teaching the angels a few things!! He was one in a million, if not more.  Where we all just 10-15 years ago, no where near where we are with his vision an technology today.  What a guy.  What a shame to have lost him so soon.  God must have had plans for him.  He left this world much too soon.  :) Gail

Hi Karen--this may be one of Steve Jobs' greatest gifts to the world--asking us to step beyond our limiting beliefs and to follow our hearts.  I am a huge fan of Apple and feel that Steve Jobs will be sorely missed from the world.

If you live each day as if it was your last,some day you'll most certainly be right. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. Very touching speech. He was a innovator indeed. Thanks for sharing Karen.

Karen, I have listened to his 3 stories. Such an amazing person. Just think of all he created "after" his fatal diagnosis!

Hi Karen - He was an amazing creator and will be missed by the world, which he changed dramatically. I especially like the second quote you listed--too many people live other people's lives. Thanks for the reminder.
