What the author means, of course, is that the attitudes we have determine how we feel. My thoughts and beliefs may change over time as I learn and grow, but while they may change, it does not mean that they have to change me. I am the one who determines my attitude.

The were both in the same situation, and working at the same job, but the environment of the one was severely limited.
