"أعظم شيء في العالم هو أن تعرف كيف تنتمي إلى نفسك"
— Michel de Montaigne
Simplified Meaning:
Knowing how to belong to yourself means understanding who you are and being comfortable with it. Imagine you have a friend who always does what everyone else wants. He never thinks about what he likes or what's best for him. Now, think about another friend who knows her own mind. She can say no when she needs to and make choices for herself, even if others disagree. This second friend feels happier and more confident because she is true to herself. When you belong to yourself, you find peace and happiness within, and you're not always looking for approval from others. You can apply this in your life by taking time to understand your own desires and values, making decisions that feel right to you, and not worrying too much about what others think.
