"希望と恐れは同じ場所に存在できない どちらか一方を招待して泊まらせる"

Simplified Meaning:

It's about choosing between two powerful feelings: hope and fear. Imagine you have a small room in your mind, but only one guest can fit there at a time. If you let hope stay in that room, you feel positive and confident about the future. When hope is with you, you can look forward to good things happening and feel motivated to make them happen. On the other hand, if fear takes over that space, you start worrying about bad outcomes and this can make you feel stuck or unable to act. For example, when you're thinking about a job interview, if you focus on hope, you believe in your skills and feel ready to try your best. But if you let fear take over, you might feel too anxious and doubt yourself. By choosing to invite hope into your mind, you create a positive space that helps you move forward and deal with challenges better.
