Legacy

You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that keep me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love.

If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right. If today were the last day in my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today? And if the answer has been a 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because 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 to avoid the trap of thinking you've got something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

But, no one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want die to get there. And yet death is the destination we share. No one has ever escape from it. Your life is limited, so don't waste it living someone else 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 opinion drown out your 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.
