“The thing is to understand myself: the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die”

Soren Kierkegaard

Simplified Meaning:

Everyone has to understand who they really are and what truly matters to them. It's about discovering a personal truth or belief that feels deeply right for you, one that shapes your actions and decisions. For example, imagine an artist who realizes that creating art is their true calling. They feel so passionate about it that they dedicate their life to painting, even if it means facing struggles or criticism. This belief gives their life purpose and direction. When you find your own core belief or passion, it drives you forward and helps you make meaningful choices, no matter the challenges.
