"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
It's been more than six years since the world lost the treasure that was Steve Jobs. He was a creative genius, a visionary,
and above all, a wise and compassionate man. He had much to teach us. Of all the quotes posted on the internet at the time of his death, I like the above.
So many times our own inner voice is drowned out by others; our loved ones', our friends, our leaders, or even people we don't know who shout their views through through all kinds of media. Faced with the volume and amount of opinions of others, we often lose our confidence in our own values, beliefs, ideals and ideas. As we experience so much pain, turmoil, and animosity around us, it's easy to doubt ourselves.
Self care is about trusting, listening to, and honoring your heart and your intuition. The next time you doubt yourself, think of Steve Jobs and his courage to listen to his inner voice.
