The story is told of two prisoners in one small cell with no light except what came through a tiny window three feet above the eye level. Both prisoners spent a great deal of time looking at the window, of course, One of them saw the bars- obvious, ugly, metallic reminders of reality.
From day to day he grew increasingly discouraged, bitter, angry and hopeless. By contrast, the other prisoner looked through the window to the stars beyond. Hope welled up in that prisoner as he began to think of the possibility of starting a new life in freedom.

The prisoners were looking at the same window, but one saw bars while the other saw stars. And the difference in their vision made a huge difference in their lives. Likewise, our vision will affect our whole life.
