"يتطلب الاستيقاظ على حقيقة من تكون التخلي عن من تتخيل نفسك أن تكون."

Simplified Meaning:
Often, we have a picture in our minds of how we think we should be. This might be shaped by our dreams, what others expect from us, or how we wish others would see us. However, truly understanding yourself means accepting who you really are, not just who you want to be. For example, someone might dream of becoming a famous musician because they think it will make others admire them. But, if they are really passionate about teaching others to play music, embracing that might bring them more happiness and fulfillment. Letting go of the imagined version of ourselves can help us find true contentment and live more authentically.
