One day I was walking out of a building and I held the door open for the woman behind me. Something we should all be doing anyway! (Holding the door for each other)
She thanked me for holding the door for her, then said “it’s going to pour down!“
I said “it’s nice and sunny right now, so I’m going to take a walk”.
When we got outside it was sunny, warm and very inviting weather for a walk which is, in fact, what my intention was, and what I did.
When she walked outside, it was as if the sun did not exist and all she could see were some clouds way off in the distance.
Is Your Glass Half-Full or Half-Empty? Is your life sunny or cloudy?
How you see things and look at life is all about perception.
It is very likely with her Half-Empty view of the world around her, that she did run into some rain as she went on her way that day. It did not literally have to physically rain on her wherever she was, or in whatever she was doing. Since she only saw the worse, something not so pleasant probably happened to her.
Seeing the day, and time, and space, from a Half-Full view, I had a lovely walk enjoying myself, and the things I happened to see, and experience along the way.
In the attraction-based world in which we live, like certainly begets like. It’s like that saying that “birds of a feather flock together”. What you think about attracts people, situations and things that match your thoughts.
If you generally think the worse, the light will turn red as you approach it, and you are already late as it is. You might have even left your wallet at home and couldn’t pay for the stuff you filled your cart with, after spending half an hour in the store shopping. When your mind is filled with Half-Empty, non-productive thoughts, too many of your experiences reflect the less than ideal things that show up for you.
When your thoughts are light-hearted, and more often than not, there is a song in your heart, all the lights are green for you. You get the best parking spots. Your experiences are usually joyful, and you appreciate all the things going on in your life. Your life and your glass are Half-Full with plenty of room for more delightful experiences to show up.
I’m not saying the glass Half-Full crew does not have things to deal with. We all do. What I am saying is, it is all a matter of perspective. It’s all about how you feel about things. It is about what you see through the lens you look through.
You do not have to be knocked down by what is going on in your life, or by the things you see.
One way to put the Half-Empty glass down is to stop and think about all the things you have already gotten through. It might have seemed like whatever those things that seemed so hard to you at the time, were never going to work. But now, you can look back at them from the other side, where you have already probably pretty much forgotten about them, and how worked up you were about it at the time.
Surely, you’ve heard the expression “This Too Shall Pass”. All of the stuff does pass into into yesterday, last month and last year.
Life is so much better when your glass is Half-Full.
Every thing in life is a choice.
