“Don’t chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing and work hard. The right people – the ones who really belong in your life – will come to you. And stay.”

Simplified Meaning:

If you try too hard to get others to like you, you might end up pretending to be someone you're not. Instead, focus on being true to who you are and putting effort into your own goals and interests. When you do this, the people who appreciate the real you will naturally come into your life and stick around. For example, think about a student in school who loves drawing. If they keep drawing and improving their skills without worrying too much about being popular, they will eventually meet friends who share their passion for art. These friends will value them for who they are, not for trying to fit in. By being genuine and dedicated, you attract lasting relationships that are based on true connection.
