“Life is whatever we make of it. The traveler is the journey. What we see isn't what we see but what we are.”
— Fernando Pessoa
Simplified Meaning:
We shape our own lives with our choices and attitudes. For example, imagine two people on the same trip. One complains about everything, while the other finds joy and beauty in the same experiences. This shows that our perspectives can make the same situation feel very different. Essentially, how we interpret what happens around us reflects who we are inside. So, maintaining a positive outlook can lead to a more fulfilling life. What we experience and how we feel about it depends largely on our own mindset and inner state.
