When your glasses get dirty, you can deal with it because they are uniformly dirty and you don't really notice the dirt. But then you start to clean them off and you realize how bad they were. And if you miss a spot, that spot really stands out and annoys the heck out of you until you take care of it.
That's the same way discipleship works. At first your life seems okay because it's kind of messed up everywhere and you don't really know any different. But then when God begins to work, the parts that are left that are still messed up are more noticeable. I think that's why the longer you've been a Jesus-follower, the more you realize how much more you need to grow in your walk with Christ.
