“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”

This was written by Henry David Thoreau

Now what does it mean?

Meaning

It's all about perspective.

This has happened to when playing basketball in my driveway. I was out there for a while, and I was starting to get fatigued but all I needed to do was act like I wasn't tired and manipulated my brain into having more energy and it definitely worked.

Obviously, there are more simple ways to do this in day-to-day life.

For example, school.

Instead of viewing it as a workday, task, and stressful place.

Start repeatedly telling your brain, it's fun, a place to improve my stress levels and learn new skills.

I like to do this with school too!

Rather than viewing Global class as a way to learn what happened in 1969 (did anything even happen during than?) I view it as a place to improve skills such as notetaking, verbal communication, and memory.

So look for the benefits in life in things you might hate!
