"Excepto nuestros propios pensamientos, no hay nada absolutamente en nuestro poder."

Rene Descartes

Simplified Meaning:

Our thoughts are the only things we can completely control in life. Everything else, like events or what others do, is beyond our control. Imagine you're stuck in traffic. You can't change the traffic situation, but you can decide how you react to it. You could get frustrated and angry, or you could listen to your favorite music and stay calm. By focusing on your thoughts and feelings, you have the power to choose how you experience every situation. This idea helps us understand that while we can't control everything happening around us, we can control our own mindset and reactions, leading to a more peaceful and fulfilled life.
