"Renonce à te définir - à toi-même ou aux autres."
— Eckhart Tolle

Simplified Meaning:
When you stop trying to put labels on who you are or explain yourself to others, you can feel freer and more genuine. Imagine a student who always says, "I am bad at math." If they keep saying that, they might never try hard enough to get better. But if they stop using that label, they can focus on learning and improving without the pressure of that identity. Similarly, instead of always telling people you are a certain type of person—like funny, shy, or serious—just let your actions show who you are. By doing so, you can grow and change without being stuck in one idea of yourself. This way, you can discover new things about yourself and what you can do.
