EXERCISE
It was disappointing that so many of those who received the Magic Glasses gave them back. They did so because they found it a lot of work to learn how to look at life and people differently. They did not like having to make decisions that were not based on their old irrational beliefs and prejudices and instead found it easier just to go back to their old ways of thinking (Stinky).
By now, you understand that using Magic Glasses is the same as you changing your Stinky Thinking to Good Thinking. You may now notice how others refuse to change their thinking and instead stay with their old way of Stinky Thinking. They are refusing to use their Magic Glasses.
You may also tell yourself that you want to go back to your old way of thinking because:
Good Thinking demands that you be honest with yourself as well as with others.
Good Thinking demands that you take personal responsibility for your emotions and actions. Good Thinking demands that you do what is in your best self-interest.
Good Thinking demands that you be realistic in your demands of yourself and others.
This Good Thinking takes a lot of work and sometimes you will slip back into Stinky Thinking. Now that you are doing some Good Thinking, it is time to get in the habit of recognizing Good Thinking, understanding the Stinky thinking it is replacing and how that change benefits you.
