give us this day our daily bread (mentally, physically, spiritually)

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.  – Steve Jobs

PS. This is what I’ve long felt intuitively but struggle with how to articulate that I know. Without a special pedigree, wealth, fame, or talent, I’ve struggled to gain the confidence that I’m not a loon. Thank you Steve, for the assist.

Paris... it was closed....bummer

The one reason life is like going out to dinner is that each day we wake up we can’t decide what to do. In a restaurant, we can’t decide what to order. In both cases the culprit is too many choices. That, and a mind (or stomach) that can not decide what’s most important.

Seriously. Think about it.

Tomorrow, Steve Jobs at his profound best.

Or do I go the easy route and wallow in my self-pity about how challenging it is to manage my life?
