“he did not know he could not fly, so he did.”

And from a guy who gets mixed reviews but who has obviously “trusted his cape”

‘You’ve got to find what you love,’ Jobs says

These are quotes from the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

“you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life…

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 others’ 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.”

Always trust your cape is a site about people finding the inspiration and courage to continue seeking out what they truly want. It’s meant to become a community of shared stories about people pursuing their dreams.

I’m still working on the courage and inspiration aspects of trusting my own cape. Maybe I’ll get inspired to share some of my own story but for now it will be an exploration of the stories of others as they pursue their dreams. As Guy says . . .

spread your arms

hold your breath

& always trust your cape!
