I enjoy writing. Plain and simpe .I would say its the easiest thing that comes naturally to me next to breathing. I write about everything and anything that inspires me. It has always not been the case, mine has been a scalable process. If you have been an avid reader to my blog you would notice my writing tends to shift from style to style, sometimes am witty and funny, sometimes I employ sarcism, sometimes I write like a girl my age would and sometimes...well most of the times now I write deep stuff. During these moments I search my soul for that voice that would not normally come out. I realize I have multipal personalities...all of which play well with my environment.
Today I have been inspired by a man I have never met. A man I have only heard about. A man who put all this creativity into good use early in life and made sure he had paid God his dues. This man might be a cliche name today but be as it may, he reperesents so many things in my life that I have not been able to figure out. Since I heard the news about his death (I was behind news) I have been obssessed by his life's work and the passion with which he did it. I would say he is my 'IT' word today..yes am talking about Steve Jobs~ may his soul rest in peace.
He joined a company that would rise to shake the IT industry at a very young age and he allowed himself to make mistakes. From the same company that his name bacame a household name, he was fired for making a mistake. For most people, this would have been rock bottom, their dreams would have been in the pipes and their hopes would have been nothing but just that...unreachable hope. But that event was going to be his turn around moment...it gave him the opportunity to reinvent himself and become relevant~infact so relevant that the same industry that turned its back on him in the first palce recalled him to take over its leadership and he grabbed it with all the zeal in the world.
Year after year apple fans continued to wait for him to take the stage and wow them with the technology that was so cutting edge it left their jaws dropped! That is the kind of man who inspired me today. I took a long look at my life and took a second step back just to confirm that it was me I was looking at. Then it hit me...I might be in a job that I don't really like, I might be forced to tolerate people I don't consider worth my time,I might not have met the person for me but all I have been doing is complaining. What is it that I have done to change my situation?
I am not the kind of person who takes big risks, I like feeling confortable and having a sense of security but despite that I know when it is time to grow up. I am doing my own growing up starting now. I will use what I have to reinvent myself. I will set goals and achievement steps and go after them with all the strength that I have got. I still do not know how am going to do that, but what I know is that am neither going to think like someone else, nor rush at someone else's pace. I am going to do me. In that orgarnization that I am in, I am going to reinvent myself everyday and I will not fear to cause controversy where needed so that I can grow and if its beyond me, I am going to look for avenues to spread my wings! God knows I deserve it.
With my computer and my internet and knack for writng and passion for digital marketing, I am going after what I want. One way or the other. This life is too short to chicken out.
Sinca am bursting with iinspirations, I should also note that I am thoroughly enjoying Maroon 5's latest album ~hand all over. This is a group that takes reinventing seriously..with jams like just a feeling,Runaway, hands all over,Misery,Never gonna leave this bed and No curtain call who needs sad moments? Throughly celebrating Steve Jobs work through iTunes :)
