The question is does it really
matter? Let me challenge your thinking on this. If you see your glass as half
full, then your beliefs, passions and creativity can become stagnant. You are
not inclined to fill a glass that is half full because the word full indicates
enough. On the other hand if you view your glass as half empty then you will
always look at your life as never being completely fulfilled or never having
enough. You will miss all of your milestones and moments in life, and the
reason for this is that you are always trying to reach the next level and think
that that is where your happiness, peace of mind or joy is. It doesn’t matter
which way you view the glass because there is room in both glasses for more,
and the only way to achieve that is staying in the moment.
If something doesn’t turn out the way you want
it to, how do you respond? Do you consider it a failure and give up, or does it
make you more determined and focused, so that it takes all your focus and energy in getting
what you want and at any cost.
If a situation doesn’t turn out the
way you wanted it to, accept the outcome, and ask yourself the question, how
can I improve on this going forward? Don’t view a failure as a result that you
did not want. You should instead look at the experience as a reference point,
look at it as a lesson, and once you do this your mind will open a field of
possibilities.
A glass half full or half empty does
it really matter?
Finally
Only two ways to live life. “One is
as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle”-
Albert Einstein.
