Contradicting your Intuition

The world is mourning Steve Jobs this week. Facebook was flooded with his quotes and one thing that struck out most was his determination to reject dogmas and listen to his inner voice. To not live someone else's dream and follow your heart as it knows before you what you want to become. Its so easy to have your dreams overwritten by other people's opinions. Those opinions could belong to your nearest and dearest and erasing the engraving of them will prove to be an insurmountable task...well almost. I have always accepted my self as a walking contradiction, I yearn for urban city life independence and suburban family life glory equally. I see this contradiction in my parents too. My dad is a traditionalist in love with my mum, who is a complete feminist. My mum, a liberal but willing to give up that freedom for the love of her life, my dad. Intuition is an enigma. It takes us places we never believed we would arrive at. The journey is uncertain and painful but the beauty is when you arrive everything feels right to the core. R.I.P Steve Jobs.  Thank you for the inspiration.
