The View Out the Window
Two men had heart failure and were in a hospital room together. The one man closer to the window sat up every day to clear his lungs and told the other guy what he saw out the window: “Today I see children playing and laughing.” And “You should see the leaves changing; they are beautiful.” Then, the man next to the window passed away; the following day when the nurse walked into the room, the roommate asked the nurse what she saw outside of the room. She said, “Nothing, the window faces a brick wall.” The man responded, “But my roommate everyday told me all the beautiful things he saw out there.” The nurse replied, “Your roommate was blind, but he must have wanted you to envision beautiful things in your head.”
Do you Chose friends who introduce you to a higher standard and who want you to envision beautiful things in your head? Are you that kind of friend to others?
