Everyone Wears A Mask

I read a very insightful quote from Steve Jobs, everyone knows him I'm sure. That's why, I quickly set off right here and post.

Here it goes:

"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 other's 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."

This is really cool, right? People wear layers of masks and we use these masks to protect our pride. Whether these masks are for good or bad, we usually use it for our own advantage. Without consciously knowing it, these layers of masks destroy our identity. As a result, we tend to become someone we supposedly are not. These masks are devouring us to death; creating pesky voices inside our minds telling us the ifs, the shoulds and the musts.

Screw these voices!!!

That's the reason why life is really unpredictable and I like it that way. Living in righteous Oh Wow world is very boring. Everything else is secondary, a part of one's insecure imagination.
