The Window of Your Soul

When we look through a window, what do we see?

When you look through a window, do you see your soul?

Our eyes, it is said, are the windows into our soul. However, the truth is, the window we choose to look out onto the world is the true view into our soul.

Dr Negin Minaei says “Windows are not just about sunshine (and vitamin D) and thermal energies, they can improve air quality, provide views and refuge for people. In addition, they have relaxing and restoration properties if they look out on natural sceneries.”

Windows come in all shapes and sizes, just like people and the situations within.

Windows are not just found in houses, buildings and workplaces. They can be found in a garden, the bushland, the desert, or the beach.

Leaders come in all shapes and sizes too. Some will embrace the window’s view, others will not care and yet others will choose as many windows as they can see.

This was the view to the East from the C Restaurant in Perth on Wednesday. It’s a revolving restaurant and apart from the fabulous lunch that Linda and I enjoyed, it made me reflect on why it’s import to have a 360 degree view of the world 😎

What do you see?

A view to the West through to Kings Park

Hyde Park to the North, with bushfires in the distance

For me, a window provides peace of mind. It is also an opportunity to reflect. Sometimes, the beauty a window reveals is pause in itself. My soul likes to be peaceful, however, there are those who get in the way of that 😉

Christmas is just around the corner too…
