Meaning
The repetition makes the point feel blunt, almost like a warning. It reads as a claim that outlook shapes experience more than circumstance does, and that the habits of mind we carry can raise or lower the quality of ordinary life. It lands in a moment of discouragement, when someone needs a reminder that response matters as much as what has happened.
