"لتغيير أنفسنا بفاعلية، كان علينا أولاً تغيير تصوراتنا."

Simplified Meaning:

When we want to change something about ourselves, we need to start by changing how we see things or think about them. For example, imagine someone who wants to be more confident. Instead of thinking, "I can't do this," they need to start thinking, "I can handle this." By changing their perception, or the way they view their abilities, they open up the possibility of actually becoming more confident. This idea is similar to cleaning glasses with smudges on them. If the glasses are dirty, everything looks unclear. But if you clean the glasses, you can see the world more clearly. In the same way, if we change our negative thoughts to more positive ones, we see opportunities and solutions better. Someone can apply this to their life by consciously recognizing and changing negative thoughts. For instance, if a student keeps thinking they are bad at math, they might not try hard. But if they start thinking, "I can get better at math with practice," they are more likely to put in the effort and improve. Changing perception sets the foundation for real change to happen.
