“Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, This is the real me and when you have found that attitude, follow it”
— William James

Simplified Meaning:
Finding what makes you feel truly alive means discovering something that brings you inner joy and excitement. Imagine a person who loves painting more than anything else. Whenever they pick up a brush, they feel completely themselves and at peace. This love for painting is more than a hobby; it feels like it defines who they are. They should follow this passion, as it brings out their true self. When you identify what activities or thoughts give you this same feeling of being truly alive, you should pursue them. It’s about listening to your inner voice and trusting it to guide you towards what makes you happiest and most fulfilled.
