“We are not victims of the world we see, we are victims of the way we see the world.”

Simplified Meaning:

The way we look at things affects how we feel and act. For example, imagine two people stuck in traffic. One person might get very upset, thinking about how they are wasting time. The other might use the time to listen to music and relax. Both are in the same traffic, but their different attitudes make their experiences very different. This shows that our thoughts and attitudes shape our reality more than the events themselves. To live a happier life, changing your perspective can make a big difference. If we choose to see challenges as opportunities to learn, we will feel less like victims and more in control.
