“What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.”
— Henry David Thoreau

Simplified Meaning:
Our past experiences and future possibilities might seem important, but they are not as powerful as our inner strength and character. For example, consider someone who overcame a difficult childhood to achieve great things. Their past hardships and future challenges might shape their journey, but it is their inner determination and resilience that truly drive their success. This idea encourages focusing on personal qualities like courage, kindness, and determination. By nurturing these traits, people can handle life's ups and downs better. So, rather than worrying too much about what has happened or what might come, it's more important to develop and rely on the strength you have inside.
