"Not what you look at, but what you see." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
This quote emphasizes that reality is subjective and what matters most is how we interpret what we experience.
"The only thing you sometimes have control over is your perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you can choose to see things in a different way." - Buddha
This quote highlights the power of perspective in shaping our experience of life. Even if we can't change a situation, we can choose how we view it.

The Big Dream of the Tiny Boy
Have you heard of JΓ€rnpojken? It’s a tiny statue in Stockholm that perfectly illustrates the idea of perspective. JΓ€rnpojken, which means ‘Iron Boy’ in Swedish, is located in the courtyard of Stockholm Cathedral in the old town, Gamla Stan. This beloved artwork, originally named ‘Boy Looking at the Moon’ (‘Pojke som tittar pΓ₯ mΓ₯nen’), stands at just 15 centimeters (5.9 inches) high, making it Sweden’s smallest public monument. Despite its diminutive size, JΓ€rnpojken captures the imagination as it gazes skyward.
