"私たちの内なる批評家や外部の批評家に買い取られることを拒否すればするほど、私たちの選択や行動に自信を持つことが容易になるでしょう。"
— Arianna Huffington
Simplified Meaning:
When we stop listening to the negative voices inside of us and from others around us, we start to feel better about the things we do and the decisions we make. Think about a student who really wants to try out for the school play but is worried they aren’t good enough because their inner voice says so. If they ignore this doubt and also ignore classmates who might tease them, it becomes easier for them to believe in their talent and go for the audition. Each time they push away these doubts and negative comments, their self-confidence grows stronger. Over time, they’ll find it easier to make choices and take actions without being held back by fear or criticism. We all have these critical thoughts and others might say discouraging things, but choosing not to listen helps us become more confident in what we do.
