“Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt

Simplified Meaning:
People are not trapped by what happens to them, but rather by how they think about what happens to them. Imagine a person who wants to start a new job but feels scared and keeps thinking they will fail. Even if they have the ability to do the job well, their negative thoughts can prevent them from trying. This shows that their mind is creating the barrier, not the situation itself. If they change their mindset to believe they can succeed, they are more likely to try and do well. So, it’s important to shift our thinking from “I can't” to “I can” to overcome challenges and create better opportunities for ourselves.
