    Meilleure citation de Breaking Free From External Validation

    “

    Self-trust isn't an innate quality some people are born with; it's a muscle you build by recognizing that you are enough exactly as you are right now, rather than teaching your brain that you can't handle things without someone else's stamp of approval.

    ”
