July 4, 2021, at my own world
This article is inspired by @GoodSamarithan post at noisecash. It made me ponder on how I view life. Do I see it as a blessing or I see it as life that is full of hardship? Do I see it as incomplete and lacks in all aspects or I see it bountiful and that I can't ask for anything more. After thinking all of that I ended up writing this article.
Let's start with defining perspective.
a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view. - oxford dictionary
If you are going to read his post you will say that it's true, that our perspectives or point of view in life differentiate everything. That life perspective is the way we see things, it is the way people see life, including the way we approach life and all there is in their personal experience.
The way we see life is always different from other people. Having different perspectives is also natural. Experiences in life can affect the way you see things, it can also affect the way you feel towards other people. It can either make you look at the negative side of life or the positive side of life.
Your perspective on life can either make or break you or a relationship. It can make you successful or a loser. It can make you a dreamer or a bitter person that can't find good in anything.
If you keep on looking at life from a negative perspective you will find yourself being irritable and getting annoyed easily. Everything around you affects you. There will be times that you will find yourself complaining and stressing over things that don't really matter but did you know that it only takes you a small shift in your perspective and life will be different?
Most people walk through life with constant struggles, hardships, doubts, and challenges. They are all part of life and those parts are called by most people, challenges of life or hardships of life. That's what most humans call it but do you know how I call it? I call it adventures of life.
Did you see the difference? When you call it challenges of life or hardships of life the more it sounds heavy, the more life sounds problematic and terrifying. The more life looks dull and gray. And it seems that life keeps on throwing at you all the hardships that you can imagine. That is what you are going to see and feel if you keep looking at it as hardship. But when you view it as an adventure, it sounds like it's more fun, it sounds thrilling and exciting. It sounds daring and it sounds like that you are always willing to take the chances. The world will look as if it's always full of flowers and rainbows when you look at it as an adventure.
Going back to what @GoodSamarithan views it, even if you get less or more, it's still a blessing. You still receive something and that is what's important. Did you see how he view life?
Looking at life in a positive way makes it a lot easier. Being grateful for every little bit of what you get every day makes a lot of difference. You will see life more abundant. You see life as a blessing. You will start to believe in yourself that you can do more and that life is safe. You will start to believe in your own skills and you will see that life is really beautiful.
You may even see life as a test, but if your perspective in life is on the positive side, you will enjoy taking that test, knowing that test will shape you. Knowing it will teach you a lot and you will also learn from it a lot.
You see, believing in yourself is also seeing life in a positive way. It is all up to you how you would look at it. It's like looking at the roller coaster ride thinking it is scary and that you cannot make it until the end or you will be brave and confident to hop on that train and be ready for the ride of your life.
How you view life is all that matters.

Our view about life and the challenges determines how we deal with it or face it. If we see it rather more positive and natural like an adventure as you said, then we would be less worried about some things that shouldn't even sap our energy or strength. We will complain less and act more optimistic even with lots of challenges.
