"خیلی از مردم اون صدایی رو دارن که میگه من هیچی نیستم من هیچ کس نیستم تو رادیکال هستی تو فضا اشغال کرده‌ای کسی در زندگیت از فضایی که اشغال کرده‌ای راضی نیست."

That quote hits hard, doesn’t it? We all have that nagging voice inside our heads sometimes—the one that tells us we’re not good enough, that we don’t matter. It’s a universal struggle. The core idea here is about overcoming that internal critic and recognizing that you have a right to exist and to take up space. It’s about acknowledging that your presence and actions matter, even if not everyone in your life sees it that way.

Historically, this is a sentiment that's been echoed in various self-help and motivational arenas for decades. It’s about empowerment, self-acceptance, and resistance against societal pressures. Imagine the world a few decades ago, and even now, where certain groups—women, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community—are often told, subtly or blatantly, that they should constrict themselves to fit into a predefined mold. This quote pushes back against that notion.

Let’s bring this down to a real-life scenario. Take Rosa Parks. She was just one person on a bus, but when she refused to give up her seat, she was radical. She took up space—literally and metaphorically—and a lot of people weren’t happy about it. But her action was a catalyst for change. That’s a practical application of this wisdom. It shows that even when you're just one person, your actions can ripple out and make a significant impact.

So, how can you apply this in your own life? Start small. Next time you have an idea in a meeting, voice it. Don't second-guess your worth. If there's a hobby or passion you love but have been shying away from because you think it's not worthwhile, dive in. Trust me, embracing this mindset can be life-changing. People might push back—they may not like the new, more assertive you. But your responsibility isn’t to make everyone else comfortable; it’s to live your truth.

Let me tell you a story. Picture this: There's a woman named Jenny who works in an office. She’s always been the quiet one, scared to speak up because she thinks her ideas aren’t as good as everyone else’s. One day, she reads that quote. It strikes a chord. So, she makes a decision. At the next team meeting, she pitches an idea she’s been mulling over for weeks. Her voice shakes, her palms sweat, but she does it. And guess what? Her boss loves it. They implement her idea, and it’s a huge success. Suddenly, Jenny isn't just the quiet one anymore. She realizes that she has value, that her contributions matter. She’s taking up space, and she’s not apologizing for it.

Think about how this applies to you. Life’s too short to let that inner critic keep you small. Take up space. Be radical. Believe that you’re somebody, because you are. And if someone in your life isn’t happy about it? That’s their problem, not yours. You’ve got this.
