That "Inner Voice"

And so another legend of our time dies.  I'm confronted with many inspirational word, but especially these words from Steve Jobs, obtained from an article in Time magazine:


"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life," he said, sounding as if the very thought of living someone else's life infuriated him. "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."
Time Magazine


The similarities between Steve's words and this verse in the bible (The Message translation) struck me.  Check it out.  To say that he was on to something might be stating the obvious. 


"Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you."
Romans 12:2

May we all learn something every day!  May we be wise enough to choose to trust "The Inner Voice".  May we be bold enough to  keep on learning, keep on growing, keep on exploring ourselves and  "The Inner Voice".
