Connecting the dots

"it was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decision I ever made...Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forwards, but it was very, very clear looking backwards...Again, you can't connect the dots looking forwards, 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. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well worn path, and that will make all the difference." -Steve Jobs, Apple and Pixar CEO

If you find this quote somewhat compelling and interesting, I encourage you check out Steve Jobs' entire speech at the link below. My dear friend Whitney shared a TED talk with me once, and I found (or rather God showed me) this really interesting and inspiring speech today. It really helps me make sense of a lot of my time here in Spain, and I hope it encourages you in some way too. :)

Oh...and on another happy note, Joanna and I have decided to take a last-minute road trip to Lisbon, Portugal today! We'll be back on Wednesday, so be on the look out for a blog about that soon. ;)

I hope you are enjoying lots of sun and love...and know that I love you so much!

Be adventurous,
Brittany :)
