点と点はやがてつながる。＿＿スティーブ・ジョブズ

Hello!
　Today, let’s reflect on a famous quote by Steve Jobs. As one of the co-founders of Apple, Steve Jobs was put up for adoption shortly after birth. Raised by parents who weren't very wealthy, he worked hard to get into a prestigious college. However, because he ruthlessly cut out things that didn't interest him, he dropped out and took only the classes he genuinely liked.

Steve Jobs' Famous Quote

　"You can’t connect the dots looking ahead; you can only connect them looking back. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future."

What if today were the last day of your life?

　When we wake up in the morning, we rarely imagine that today might be our last day. We might just think, "What should I do today?" "Let me finish that job early," or "That seems like a hassle; I'll just slack off today."

　The best kind of life is a life without regrets. If we keep putting off what we truly want to do, time will slip away in the blink of an eye.

　Steve Jobs passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 56. It is said that at one point, he practiced Zen and meditation to find himself. It seems humans are born with a unique set of colors given to them at birth. That is why the greatest happiness comes from following the voice embedded in your own DNA, rather than living someone else's life.

　You don't need to live a lie just because "everyone says being a civil servant is best" or "because your parent is a doctor." That said, sometimes you have no choice but to work desperately just for the money. You might have had days when you were chased by home loans, worked hard to pay your children's tuition, and bowed your head to a difficult boss.

　But please rest assured. There is absolutely no need to regret those days that seemingly "didn't go as planned." Your life, as a whole, is already complete just as it is.

　The true purpose of life isn't just to make money, but to do what interests you and live with excitement. Therefore, even the past that looked like a detour was completely "all good."

The dots are connected

　Experiences, knowledge, encounters, and life lessons may seem scattered, but they're all connected at the perfect time. Seen this way, even those who constantly try new things and quit quickly aren't doing anything meaningless. Since everything will come alive later, there is absolutely no reason to regret the past.

　I know someone who kept getting various certifications, repeatedly hiring and quitting. At one point, they gave up, saying, "I don't know what I want to do anymore," and started working as a part-time factory hand. Then, out of nowhere, a great company approached them. Surprisingly, in their new position, every single certification and experience they had accumulated in the past came alive beautifully.

　I have had a similar experience myself, and it almost feels as if the vibration of my own DNA is guiding me to the most suitable place. Books on non-duality also say humans can only act as programmed by their genetic code. Yes, from the very beginning, your life has been walking a path where "everything is perfect as it is."

　Whether you are already working or about to look for a job, for now, just focus on what excites you or catches your attention, and start even if it's just a tiny taste.

　No matter your past, and no matter how big the detour, there is no need for regret. Your life is complete and perfect exactly as it is. Every small experience becomes a dot for the future, and they will surely connect to create a beautiful picture!
