Do you see your glass as half full or half empty?



 
 
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?
