Steven Paul Jobs was an American businessman, inventor, and investor best known for co-founding the technology company Apple Inc. Jobs was also the founder of NeXT and chairman and majority shareholder of Pixar.

Here are five random facts about Steve Jobs:

He was actually fired from Apple in 1985 after a power struggle with the board, only to return in 1997 and save the company from collapse.

Jobs was a big believer in design and simplicity. He audited a calligraphy class in college, which later inspired the beautiful typography of the first Macintosh.

He bought Pixar from George Lucas for $5 million in 1986. Pixar later made Toy Story and went on to become a giant, eventually being sold to Disney.

Jobs was a fruitarian at times, eating mostly fruit and vegetables. This even influenced the name “Apple” because he thought it sounded “fun, spirited, and not intimidating.”

Sometimes the studio isn’t where the artist goes but where the artist is. Some open creativity time spent day dreaming at the beach in photos.

A while back I saw a YouTube video that completely changed my life, it completely changed my perspective of myself, my goals and my mindset.

The video was titled something like “how I finally changed my lifestyle and saw results” or something close to that. I had never seen a video of hers before but that one video, changed everything for me.

In the video the main point she talked about was trust, not in others but in herself. Every time she committed to changing her lifestyle to a healthier one and broke that commitment, she broke her own trust. Every time she said she would do something for herself and didn’t, her trust in herself dwindled. 

It’s something that we don’t notice 99.8% of the time. When we commit to eating healthier, going to the gym 5x a week, stop drinking alcohol, whatever it is and we mess up (because we’re human) our trust in ourselves tends to break. 

In the video she said, the thing that made the most difference in her lifestyle change was the fact that she forgave herself and gave herself grace while still holding herself responsible for the changes she wanted to make. This society, especially the level up society sometimes, puts extremely high expectations on us. As women and doubly so as black women. We put so much pressure on ourselves to be the absolute best version of ourselves and when we make a mistake we beat ourselves up, even if we don’t realize it. 

I want to encourage you to sit down with yourself and determine if deep down, even subconsciously, you’ve broken your own trust and don’t trust yourself anymore. I promise you, you will be surprised to find that it might be the case for you. And if it is, forgive yourself. Forgive yourself for every time you wanted to show up for yourself but didn’t or couldn’t. Give yourself grace for being human and for figuring it out. Truly forgive yourself. Tell yourself that each effort to change is better than not changing at all. Then pick yourself back up and try again. Make the change, step by step, to honor yourself and while you’re at it, let yourself off of the hook. 

Reflexiono y comprendo si lo que siento y  vivo tienen sinergia. Esta semana escuchaba y platicaba sobre el tejido cósmico y es ahí donde uno se cuestiona. 

Sí, está bien decir que no, también es amor.

Pensar "que falta algo" también es caer en las carencias. 

Observar todo el camino construido hasta hoy y sentir cómo me siento.

Que no pasa nada si pedimos ayuda

La forma en la que nos comunicamos, si es desde el amor o desde el odio.

¿Hago las cosas desde el querer o desde el deber?

¿A dónde estoy queriendo llegar? Sí, en el camino, se desarmó hasta mi cuerpo.

El amor propio viene de uno. No esperemos que cambiaremos a alguien o que esa persona nos cambiará. Creo que cuando es recíproco y hay cariño no hay necesidad de drama, simplemente las cosas se acomodan y fluyen. Cuidemos cómo hablar a las personas, así como el cuidar que recibimos de los demás,  con ello que,queremos y aceptamos.

Espero que hoy tengas un hermoso domingo y que reflexionemos para así seguir evolucionando en el autoconocimiento de amarnos y valorarnos a nosotros mismos.

 Para poder querer dar o recibir  sentimientos o sensaciones, incluso cosas materiales, hay que aprender a hacerlo primero de nosotros hacia nosotros.
