Simplified Meaning:

Life around us often stays the same, but our perspective and understanding of it can shift. Imagine someone moving to a new city and at first, they feel lost and out of place. Over time, as they get to know the streets, make new friends, and familiarize themselves with the local culture, they start feeling at home. The city hasn’t changed, but they have. In another example, think about a challenging subject in school. Initially, a student might find it very difficult, but with time, study, and practice, their skills improve. The subject matter remains constant, but the student’s ability to handle it becomes better. Applying this idea in life means focusing on personal growth rather than expecting external conditions to change. If something is hard or uncomfortable, working on your own thoughts and actions may be the key to improvement. It highlights the power of self-improvement and adaptability in navigating life’s circumstances.
