Zach Braff on Susan Boyle

This is from a MySpace bulletin that Zach Braff had posted late last night. And I couldn't have said it better myself; do what you love, do not shield yourself from your own talent... life's too short to follow someone else's dreams.

"I have been trying to think of why the entire Earth is currently so taken by this woman (Susan Boyle). And I realized she is iconic of so many things that all of us hide within ourselves; puzzle pieces of our personalities that we shield from everyone we know. And after a lifetime of withholding this rare beauty from the world; she steps up to a microphone (while a giant audience laughs at her) and reveals her secret to the planet.

I cant get her out of my mind. I cant stop the inevitable goosebumps and my eyes from welling each time I watch it. I hope that everyone with a child who sees this video, sits them down and says, "Life is short. Do not hide yourself. Do not lurk in the shadows. Do not wait a lifetime to start being whomever it is that you are. Sing. No matter how hard they laugh at you... sing."

I love Susan Boyle. If anyone out there makes Susan Boyle flags, let me know. I will personally have a flag pole installed in my yard just so I can raise my Susan Boyle flag.
