Steve Jobs on shaping life beyond its limits

The three C's of life: Choices, Chances and Changes.

You must make a choice to take a chance, or your life will never change.

Adulting is like trying to balance on a tightrope with a million thoughts swirling around you.

Some days, you feel like you’ve mastered it, your bills are paid, your laundry’s done, and you’ve even made time for a workout. But then, there’s a day when it all feels like too much.

There’s no instruction manual for this journey. One minute you’re chasing dreams, and the next, you're tangled in the weeds of reality.

You wonder if the road will ever smooth out, if the weight will lift, or if you’ll just learn how to carry it better.

Yet, in all the mess and the hustle, there’s growth. The quiet moments when you realize you’re more than just your to-do list. You're becoming the person who shows up, who tries, who sometimes fails but always gets back up.

Adulting is more about getting things done than about perfection. The simple truth? We're all figuring it out, one step at a time. The important part is that we're moving.

One day, you’ll realize that peace was never about silence or escape. It was always about finding stillness within the chaos.

You're going to realize it one day that happiness was never about your job or your degree, or being in a relationship.

Happiness was never about following the footsteps of all those who came before you. It was never about being like the others.

One day you're going to see it, that happiness was always about the discovery, the hope, the listening to your heart, and following it wherever it chose to go.

Happiness was always about being kinder to yourself. It was always about embracing the person you were becoming.

One day you will understand that happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that your happiness was never in the hands of others. It was always about you.

All the love you have given to the wrong people will find its way back to you. What a shame, it truly is that some of us have lived our entire lives under the impression that the love we had been searching for, was to be found first and foremost in anyone but ourselves.

Everything in this world is temporary. Life changes, people come and go, and seasons never last. Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination.

You trust the bus when you don't know the driver. You trust the plane even without knowing the pilot. You trust the boat without ever meeting the captain.

So why not trust life knowing that God is steering it? Just keep doing your part like the driver, the pilot and the captain, and leave the rest in God's hands.

I will never allow anyone to make me feel like I am not enough.

Is someone treating you badly? Read this to the end, it might completely change how you see the people around you.

The way others treat you says more about them than it does about you. Think about it.

Frustrated people take out their pain on others. Insecure people tear you down just to feel superior.

Unhappy people will do anything to bring you down because they can’t stand seeing someone happy around them.

If you’re not careful, you start absorbing that negativity. You begin to question yourself, to feel like you’re not enough, like something’s wrong with you.

But here’s the truth: the problem was never you!

That doesn’t mean you have to tolerate it, though. You can’t control how people act, but you can control how you respond.

So if someone disrespects you, don’t argue, don’t try to understand it, just walk away. And if you need to say something, say it with confidence: I will not be treated this way!

Respect isn’t just about words, it’s about how we treat people, even when there’s nothing to gain.

It’s listening without interrupting, disagreeing without belittling, and recognizing that everyone has a story we may not understand.

In a world that praises loud opinions and quick judgments, real strength lies in choosing kindness over arrogance.

True respect isn’t demanded, it’s earned through the way we carry ourselves and how we make others feel.

In the age of social media, hypocrisy thrives like never before. People preach kindness but tear others down in the comments.

They post about mental health yet judge those who struggle. They curate a life of perfection while battling their own chaos behind the screen.

The digital world rewards appearances over authenticity, but real character isn’t measured in likes or shares, it’s shown in the moments no one else sees.

Maybe it's time we stop performing and start living with integrity, both online and off.
