SEEING THE INVINCIBLE WORLD

There were two men who were patients in the same hospital room.Every day,the man closest to the window shared with his friend what he saw outside,describing it in great detail,so his room-mate could enjoy the view,even though he was confined to his bed. ''Today,i see a beautiful sunrise'' he'd say.''The kids are out there playing.The trees are blooming,'' and on and on.Each day,the bed-ridden patient looked forward to hearing his roomate's report on the outside world.It was the highlight of his day. One day,the patient next to the window became so excited.''Oh,you should see!There is a parade coming by ,with a marching band,kids and adults celebrating something and having such a good time''. After several weeks,the patient next to the window passed away,so his friend asked the nurse if he could have the bed by the window,so he could see all the great scenes of activity outside. ''Why,certainly,''the nurse replied,as she and an orderly moved the patient to the bed next to the window.But when the man looked out the window,much to his surprise,all he could see was a brick wall. About fifteen feet away stood another wing of the hospital.The patient called the nurse back in,and said, ''Hey,wait a minute!What is going on?My friend who passed away described all those beautiful scenes for several weeks and i cant see anything but a wall!'' The nurse smiled and said ''Sir,didnt you realize that your friend was blind?He chose to see a beautiful life from the inside out.'' No matter what twists and turns life takes,you can find the good if you look for it.If we have the right attitude,we can see the sun shining even when its cloudy.We can stay full of joy and keep getting better,even when things dont go our way.Your life is a function of your thought.It is high time you changed your thought.JOE VITALE said:"You always get what you unconsciously believe and expect.
