Knock, knock! You open your door to a neighbor or friend. She walks in your home. Here and there during your conversation, she casually looks around and takes in the state of your home.
If your home is in great shape, you feel fine. You feel proud. But if it's a mess, you shrink inside. You feel embarrassed. You berate yourself for not making the room look good, as you had planned a hundred times to do but never did.
It happens every day, in every office, home, dorm room, and business all over the world.
Do you know how these people feel? Let's see if you do...
Deborah sits in her living room. Her eyes go to the pile of junk that needs to be organized. It's been sitting there for months. Every time she sees it, the energy drains from her and she feels negative. She berates herself for not doing something about it. But that's nothing - her neighbor has a garage filled floor to ceiling with stuff that hasn't moved in twenty years.
Jack is wondering where that special cooking tool is. He moved to his current home two years ago, but he still has not unpacked it and he has no idea where to start looking for it.
Worst of all: Cecilia never gets around to organizing those precious photographs which held all her memories. Then the box where she's been keeping them for years is destroyed during a flood. Cecilia's photos can't be replaced. If she had accomplished this project during the five years when she kept meaning to, the photos would now be in photo albums in her home, not lost forever.
