The soul longs to be lived...

The moment you devote your life to " optics " - that is, to how things look to others, a littel bit of you dies inside. Because you can't be transparent and optics-obsessed at the same time. Because it takes all that we have to clarify our authentic path in a distracted world. Ambition and authenticity make strang bedfellow. There is no time to waste obsessing over how others perceive us. Our soul longs to be lived. - Jeff Brown
