My bud Josh aka @ReformedBroker had this Steve Jobs quote up on his blog this morning, and I think its beautiful. I’m reprinting it here so that I know where to find it whenever I want to refer back to it.
Thank you Steve, for all you’ve accomplished.
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or 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.”
