How to say "live your truth" in Korean?
I think the sentence can be translated into '참되게 살아라' or '진실되게 살아라'.
참되다 or 진실되다(참 is a pure Korean and 진실 is a Sino-Korean word.) means true, real, sincere, authentic, truthful, genuine or faithful.

Can some help me translate this into Korean, please?
The original quote is in Classical Chinese, the literary language used in Korea at the time:
勿令妄動 靜重如山 (물령망동 정중여산)
Translated to Korean, it would be:
가벼이 움직이지 말라, 태산과 같이 무거이 행동하라.
