Ennulley: Great words of hope and inspiration

"you can't connect the dots looking forward; 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. This approach has never let me down,

and it has made all the difference in my life.”

“I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away

from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still

loved what I did.”

“The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of

being a beginner again, less sure about everything.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 others' 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.”
