"You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle…
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
This quote really resonated with me because recently I've become increasingly aware of how temporary things can be: people, situations, relationships of any kind and so on. But it isn't always a bad thing, oddly the fact that so many things are temporary can be comforting. Experience is made up of moments and it therefore means that the bad ones will pass eventually.
I'm determined to do all the things I want to do in my life, get the job I want and make the most of the current moment rather than overthink ones that haven't even happened yet. I won't settle on second best in regard to any aspect of my life even if it might be the easier option, because everybody deserves to be happy and I reckon that's worth waiting for.
Keep going, don't settle.
Laura.
