"Because it is important to me" should more often than not be the reason we do what we do. It couldn't be much more simple than that. Of course, at times you have to do things that you would prefer not to do, that's life. But you should always be working towards something you believe in - not just do things because they are expected. I decided rather than trying to reinvent the wheel and articulate this thought, it would be better to include the following quote from Steve Jobs' commencement speech to Stanford in 2005. These few sentences sum everything up better than I could in 10 pages of rambling text:
“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 other’s 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
***Last night I did nothing (other than swimming in the morning). Not on ly did I have an off day from training, but I had an out of town hearing cancelled at the last minute. After work, I went home, had dinner, and went to bed early. I'll be back at it tonight.
