Most of us have heard about the half glass perspective, whether you view the glass as half empty or half full. For those who see it as half full, the thought is they have a positive view of things as opposed to those who see it as half empty failing to recognize they have more than those with an empty glass. It is a pretty simple way of reminding us to view our circumstances from a positive perspective, regardless of how challenging they may be. It means adapting a half glass full mentality towards your daily journey through life. It doesn’t mean you stop being human and don’t feel negative emotions, but rather that more often than not you will look at circumstances from as positive a perspective as you can. You will focus on all you have achieved and how much more you will achieve as you work towards moving through and past life’s challenges.
Take the time to think about how you are living your life, is it always focused on the negative? Are you fixated on what could have been and thinking about if you had only done this instead of that? Those are the half empty glass mentalities you want to avoid, particularly because outside of learning from past mistakes there is no reason to dwell on them. Fact is there is nothing you can do about yesterday and so much more you can do about today. Today is the most important day of your life as you can impact today to make sure tomorrow is a much better today when tomorrow arrives. Focusing on a half glass full mentality enables you to focus on the positive of today and in the end will help you to fill your glass until it overflows. Just a little advice to go!
