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 other’s 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.” These are Steve Jobs’s wise words, the brilliant man who passed away last year. If only we could live by our own thoughts and follow our hearts.
We are bogged down with trying to please people and our daily responsibilities. There are few happy people who live by those words.

I don’t think you will like this reply, but I don’t live anybody else’s life, I am not trapped by dogma, I have my own voice (which you should f’ing ‘ell know by now lol!), and I won’t comment on the second paragraph because you already know the answers. AND I am not ‘bogged down’ with anybody on a daily basis! So ner! lubs ya mwa mwa xx
ps. The last bit is not strictly true, ‘cos I love hearing from my m8’s! :D

They are fine words Certain… and like anc I like to think I am my own person… and I do live my life by my own rules.. but being married and bringing up children is inhibiting.. which of us truly has the luxury of following our own path where ever it takes us?… I had little people who depended on me … and as a woman you become secondary…especially as a working mum I was too busy keeping house and home together.
Nice words Mr Jobs.. but I expect he had a wife at home whilst he lived his dream :D
Gosh… I’m getting cynical! :D :D :D
I think most of us are inhibited by our circumstances Mrs T and im no different. Its a basic instinct to try to be liked and go with the flow sometimes.
Im glad you disagree Anc as that is what the boards are all about.
Hmmmmm yeah – I think I like the boards because you can ponder on what you want to type – in the lobby, you have to think quick and miss something if you look out the window at Mr Postie bringing in another bill! I like the different opinions that come from people – I might not particularly like the comments, but I take them ‘on board’, as they say!

Actually anc I wasn’t meaning to sound discontented with my life…. I was being a realist… its most women’s lot isn’t it? I loved being a mum when my kids were tiny and I dont regret putting my ambitions aside … not in the least. I was trying to say…..practicalities inhibit our freedoms,…. hope that makes sense :D

choosing to be parents means we are prepared to make serious sacrifices……..to put our lives on hold till such a time we can pick up where we left off.
