Live a life you love

Every now and then, life hands us something that feels like a setback - until we realize it was actually the beginning of something extraordinary. When we follow what lights us up, even the tough moments become stepping stones. Few people understood this better than Steve Jobs, who turned failure into fuel and heartbreak into a higher calling. His words remind us that loving what you do isn’t just nice - it’s necessary.

“I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. 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.”
