You can only connect them, looking backwards

So you have to trust that the dots will somehow

connect in your future

You have to trust in something

Your gut

Destiny

Life

Karma

Whatever...

Because believing that the dots will connect

down the road

WIll give you the confidence to follow your heart

Even if it leads you of the well worn path

And that will make all the difference

You've got to find what you love

And that is as true for 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

And don't settle

As with all matters of the heart

You'll know when you find it

Keep looking, don't settle

Almost everything

All external expectations

All pride

All fear of embarrassment of 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 else his 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

Have the courage to follow your heart

and intuiton

They somehow already know

what you truly want to become

Most of you say you want to be successful

But you don't want it bad

You just kinda want it

You don't want it as bad as you want to party

You don't want it as much as you want to be cool

Most of you don't want success

As much as you want to sleep

Some of you love sleep more than you love success

And I'm here to tell you today

If you're going to be successful

You got to be willing to give up sleep

This year I will make this goal become a reality

I won't talk about it anymore!

I can!

I CAN!

I CAN!
