We all have days where we just feel miserable about our lives. We are confused about what we want to achieve, then we start to doubt whether we are on the right track towards our goals and challenge our own ability and belief. It doesn’t mean that we are weak. It’s completely normal because even the most successful people in the world need motivation.
It’s always nice to get inspiration from well-known successful people when we feel unsure about our lives. Taking reference from their personal stories and life mottos doesn’t only motivate us but also giving us valuable insight on how to live our lives in a better way.
I am sure no one will challenge me for saying Steve Job is one of the all-time legends in the 21st century.
Steve Jobs was not just a visionary genius, but a man with an incredible passion for innovation, and a man who changed the world as we knew it. His lust for life was so huge that he used to look at his reflection in the mirror each morning and say to himself:
“If today was the last day of my life would I want to do what I’m about to do today?”
What an inspiring way to start the day – and a great way to make sure you’re living in the moment and striving to live a life with meaning and purpose.
No one can accuse Steve Jobs of being unproductive or lazy that’s for sure! He founded the world-famous animation company Pixar, brought computer giant Apple back to life even after being fired in 1985 and fought a debilitating battle with pancreatic cancer, a battle that after 9 years, he sadly lost in 2011.
What I love about Steve Jobs was his unnerving belief in ‘doing what you love’. This inspiring quote really resonates with me and inspires me every day to get up and do something meaningful with my life. I believe we can learn a lot from Steve Jobs and so here is a collection of my favorite and most insightful Steve Jobs inspiring quotes. I hope they inspire you as much as they have inspired me to ‘think differently’ over the years.

Quality is much better than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

That’s been one of my mantras — focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex; you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.
Steve Jobs
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.
Steve Jobs
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful … that’s what matters to me.
Steve Jobs
Again, 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.
Steve Jobs
The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

Steve Jobs
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Steve Jobs
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.
Steve Jobs
