"本物であることは、自分がどうあるべきかという考えを手放し、ありのままの自分を受け入れる日々の実践です。"
— Brene Brown
Simplified Meaning:
Being true to yourself means regularly choosing to be who you really are rather than trying to be someone you think others want you to be. Imagine a person who loves painting but works in an office job because they think it’s what society expects. If they start painting more and sharing their art, they’re being authentic. This way, they stop pretending to be someone they’re not and start living more happily because they’re doing what they love. Embracing your true self might feel scary, but it leads to a more fulfilling life. Like wearing a comfortable pair of shoes instead of tight ones, staying true to yourself makes life more enjoyable and less stressful.
