It is important we follow our passions in life if we want to find happiness. Think about how much time people spend at work – and if you don’t like what you are doing – it is very hard to be content with how you spend your time. This is where taking chances come in – following your passion may not be the easier route, but in the end it will be the most rewarding. So we should all really think about what our passions are – and I challenge you to incorporate this as much as possible into your life so you can wake up every day and be excited for the day ahead of you.
I often look back on moments like this and think – how did I do that? But I am just thankful that at these points in my life, I made these decisions and took the more difficult route. We all go through life facing our external limitations, but it is really the limitations we give ourselves that are most difficult to break free of. But once you do it, it is so much easier to face all that is put on your plate.
I believe Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios said it best when he gave his commencement speech to the graduates of Stanford University in 2005:
“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.”
