In reading parts of the plethora of information that has come out about Steve Jobs since his death, many traits were less than desirable (in my opinion). However, I did run across this clip of a speech he made to Stanford graduates some years ago. As I struggle with trying to see a glimmer of my dreams through the fog of sub-prime circumstances, his message resonates with the part of me that is still striving to see my dreams to fruition. Earlier this year, I touched the surface of my dreams when I studied in Switzerland. Since my return, I feel as if that wonderful period when many things aligned themselves to allow me to touch my dream was just that – a dream. Instead of living life to the fullest, I now feel as if I’m just existing. Just barely.
I’m still dreaming though. Sometimes inspiration comes from the unlikeliest places. May you too be inspired…
