"No necesitamos estar constantemente ocupados para sentirnos realizados."
Simplified meaning
Many people think they have to stay busy all the time to feel happy or satisfied, but that's not true. Sometimes, taking a break and just enjoying a quiet moment can be more fulfilling. For example, think about how nice it feels to sit in a park on a sunny day, listening to the birds and watching the trees. You’re not doing anything important, but you feel relaxed and content.
In history, many great thinkers spent a lot of time just sitting quietly, thinking, and letting their minds wander, which led to amazing ideas and discoveries. So, you don't always need to fill your day with tasks and activities to find meaning. Take some time each day to simply relax, read, meditate, or just be with your thoughts. This can help you feel more content and less stressed, even if you're not being productive.
