Yet perhaps it’s sad that it takes the pre-qualification of Steve’s success for people to sit up and listen. Nevertheless it’s one of our most loved speeches. We leave you with two of our favourite parts:
“Almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarassement 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.”
“Your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone elses life, don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other peoples’ 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 own intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
