Young Monk: “Do not try and bend the spoon—that’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.”
Neo: “What truth?”
Young Monk: “There is no spoon.”
Neo: "There is no spoon???!!!!"
Young Monk: "Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.”

Interpretation -
Young Monk: “Do not try and change the situations/circumstances in life—that’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.”
Neo: “What truth?”
Young Monk: “There is no permanent situations/circumstances in life.”
Neo: "There is no permanent situations/circumstances in life???!!!!"
Young Monk: "Then you'll see that it is not the situations/circumstances in life that changes, it is only yourself.”
—The Matrix
Situations/Circumstances in life are just divices (spoons) to bring a change within. Once we change within, situations/circumstances (spoons) in life will automatically change.
Gratitude.
