“It is the mind that commands the body and always obeys when the mind asks.”

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:

The quote means that our mind controls what our body does. For example, when you decide to raise your hand or walk to the store, your mind gives the orders, and your body follows these commands without question. It's like being the captain of a ship; the captain (your mind) tells the crew (your body) where to go, and they do it. This shows how powerful our thoughts are in determining our actions. If you believe you can achieve something, like learning a new skill or sticking to a healthy habit, your mind will direct your body to make it happen. By staying focused and positive in your thoughts, you can guide yourself to accomplish many things.
