Lessons From A Master - Thank you Steve Jobs

"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.” 
- Steve Jobs

With the untimely passing of a great legend, this video came my way today and I am inspired to share it with you.  Growing up in the Bay Area, coming from a high-tech family and working in a creative field for many years, Steve Jobs has long served as a familiar image of innovation, creativity and possibility to me.  However watching this speech today with the ears of a coach for the first time, I heard some poignant reminders about the power of surrender, living in alignment with one's truth and the perspective that compromised health can bring.  This video touches on some imperative fundamentals to living a healthy, happy life that we often take for granted or bypass when we get caught up in the day-to-day grind.  My key take-a-ways are below.  I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments about it too!

* We live life FORWARD and understand it BACKWARDSEven if you do not yet see the fruits of your labor, trust that the choices you make from a place of heart and curiosity will lead you to fulfillment and success.  How can you trust the process of life more today?  What if you took a risk that you long to take and just trusted that the safety net would arrive after you jumped?

* Do what you LOVE
What if every choice we made was based upon the things that truly lit us up?  Who would you spend time with?  What would you put your energy towards?  What ideas would come to life?

* Follow your HEART and INTUITION;  LIVE EACH DAY like it was your last
More often than not, we already have the answers inside of us.  Sometimes we are too scared to listen because it might rock the boat or create change for us or the people around us.  Our heart and intuition whisper reminders of our greatness to us and encourage us to rise up and meet our full potential.

I hope you found this video as inspirational as I did.  

Shine on,
Rony
