You must be wondering why I'm telling you to clean your window? That's because you'll able to see world clearly only after you clean grime on your window. Here I'm talking about window of your mind and attitude is your window to the world.
All you have to do is clean your window! You have to improve your attitude so you could see the world clear again. After you removed the grime from your window, a whole new world will open up for you. The frustration and depression will get lifted. You will have more confidence.
Let’s take a few moments to dis-cuss why I said that your attitude is your window to the world. We all start out in life with a good attitude — or, should I say, a clean mental window. Just watch young children. They’re always laughing and giggling. They have a sunny disposition. They love to explore new things.
Consider the attitude of a child who’s learning to walk. When he stumbles and falls down, what. does he do? I’ll tell you what he doesn’t do. He doesn’t frown or blame the carpet. He doesn’t point fingers at his mother or father for giving him lousy instructions. He doesn’t quit. Oh, no. He
smiles, gets up again and makes another attempt. And another. He keeps going for weeks and weeks with a positive attitude until he gets it right! His window is squeaky clean, and he feels like he can conquer the world.
But as you know, there comes a point where life starts throwing some dirt at our windows. And here’s what happens:
Our windows get splattered by criticism from
parents and teachers.
Our windows get smudged by ridicule from peers.
Our windows get smeared by rejection.
Our windows get soiled by disappointments.
Our windows get clouded by doubt.
The problem is, the dirt keeps building up, and all too many people do nothing about it. They continue to go through life with a filthy window. They lose their enthusiasm. They get frustrated and depressed. And most tragically, they give up on their dreams — all because they failed to clean their attitude window.
CLEAN YOUR WINDOW
Do you see what I mean when I say that attitude is your window to the world? Can you appreciate how your attitude affects the way you see everything in your life? More importantly, are you beginning to see those areas where your window needs to be washed?
YOU CONTROL YOUR ATTITUDE
It’s your job to keep your window clean. Sure, I can give you a little encouragement. And other people can encourage you, too. But in the end, nobody else can do it for you.
You see, you always have a choice. You can leave the filth on your window and look at life through a smeared glass. But there are consequences to that approach — and they’re not very pretty. You’ll go through life negative and frustrated. You’ll be unhappy. You'll achieve only a fraction of what you’re capable of achieving.
There’s a better way. When you choose to take out your squeegee and clean your window, life will be brighter and sunnier. You’ll be healthier and happier. You’ll set some ambitious goals... and begin to achieve them. You dreams will come alive again!
In next blog I'll elaborate how to clean your window to the world. Stay safe :))
