"Le pas le plus important pour s'émanciper des contrôles sociaux est la capacité de trouver des récompenses dans les événements de chaque instant"
— Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Simplified Meaning:
To free yourself from the pressure of what others think or expect, you need to find joy and satisfaction in everyday moments. Think about a child playing with a simple toy and being completely happy. They are not worried about what others think, they are just enjoying the moment. This means appreciating the little things in life, like a good meal, a sunny day, or a chat with a friend, without needing approval from others. By doing this, you can live more freely and happily, making your own choices and finding your own path. For example, instead of following trends to fit in, focus on what genuinely makes you happy, like a hobby or spending time in nature. This approach helps you build a life that feels fulfilling and true to yourself, regardless of outside opinions.
