Meaning
This reads as a moral about the inner life shaping outer life, both in direction and in result. It can be taken to mean that attention, desire, and affection set the path a person follows, so today’s mind becomes tomorrow’s circumstances. It lands when someone is deciding whether to hold on to resentment or to invest in a more generous outlook.
