"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."

I am looking through quotes and past commencement speeches, to use clips of for Jays grad class slide show, and came across the above quote provided by Steve Jobs, the Co founder of Apple, who lost his battle with cancer last year after getting diagnosed in 2003 with pancreatic cancer.
I wanted to share... Jason sent it to me before I was diagnosed and I found it very inspirational. His message is for the Stanford Graduation class, but we can all take something away from it.
My son Jay graduates from high school in two months, I really can't believe it. Where did the time go??Seventeen years gone by in a blink of an eye. He has so much growing up to do, so much potential, so many life skills yet to learn...he will get there, I have faith that he will figure it out.
I am feeling pretty good, my arm continues to heal. It is sore but looks good, am watching my step these days as I have tumbled a couple of times, and do not even have alcohol to blame! Heading into the tenth round of chemo this week,..I dread it at times, but have accepted that it is what it is, and the chemo will allow me to live my life and do the things I need to yet accomplish in my lifetime.
I find myself struggling as it has been six months since my diagnosis. I am searching for what my new purpose in life is. I know that my focus is on getting healthier, but need something to do eventually other than round the clock appointments. I want to do something that makes a difference, change lives, helps people see their potential, change their perspective, make people feel good about themselves. It will come, right now I need to believe I am on the right path, trying to figure everything out.
It's Sunday today, I will get out with Jason in the glorious sunshine for a big walk, go pick up Ray and take in a movie...Enjoy the day all...
Peace Out....
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.
