Why do you agree with this Men are not prisoners of fate but only prisoners of their own minds?

Members of the human race make decisions with their minds which often results in taking action or not taking action when the person faces an issue. These actions or non actions may create a favorable or unfavorable situation for this person(s). An unfavorable decision and its resulting action may place an individual in a bad situation. Fate does not enter this equation. Here is a simple illustration that actually utilizes the concept of prisoner. A person needs money and decides to rob a liqueur store to obtain the money. This person is arrested and tried by a court. This person becomes a prisoner in a penitentiary as a result of his decision. To add amplify this: a man becomes a prisoner of his mind that has made a bad decision.
