Italian term or phrase: ... hanno fatto si che nascesse in me...
Salve a tutti!
Ho bisogno in un piccolo aiuto:
"La riscoperta delle tradizioni e dell'arte hanno fatto si che in me nascesse la consapevolezza di voler investire il mio tempo..."
il mio problema è con " ... hanno fatto si che in me nascesse la consapevolezza di voler... "

Qualche suggerimento?

Grazie a tutti in anticipo!

inspired me to realize that I wanted to invest my time
Explanation:
"My rediscovery of traditions and art inspired me to realize that I wanted to invest my time..."

OR
...made me realize..."


These are the most natural-sounding English versions I can think of.

I believe this is this is a classic instance of needing to rearrange the words a bit in English and not translate word-for-word, otherwise it will inevitably sound like a sentence translated from the original.

disagree  Diana Di Battista: almost could work... it would work if it said "to be born", but without the "be" it is grammatically incorrect
