Yourself
“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 others’ 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
I started reading one of the biographies of Steve Jobs, and am stuck on this one quote. This quote has changed my life in last 6 month drastically. It has changed my thought process, the way of living life and my attitude towards life. Earlier i took my life as it came, with accepting almost all the things it offered me. Without making a single try to change it, or what it offered. Life has offered me everything , happiness, pain, love, betray, trust, sometimes broke my trust, some magical people, some beautiful moments, best of memories and many lessons. And today, when sitting in the office cubical all alone, i look back on my life, realized that i never ever tried to do something out of the box. I just lived the life as it came.
I came into this world, lived the life as my parents expected; went to college, lived the life what my friends expected; joined the professional world, lived the life to make up to the professional standards; stepped into a relationship, and lived just to live the relation. And then a blow came, a tsunami that crashed everything including me.
Whenever i read this quote, it goes deep down my heart, and fills a courage to follow myself. After having a number of setbacks, realized that if at all some is important is You , Yourself and no one else. Everyone else should be secondary, because you are the only one who knows, where your happiness lies. You are the only one who knows what is best for you.
