This is actually the thought I had that sparked two posts today...
Lies! So many people look at the glass as half full, so many people look at the glass as half empty. The glass is what it is though, isn't it?
The second you are focusing on either half, it's like you are diminishing the importance of the other! I can comfortably go through life labeling things as half full- but say "Hello!" to my rose colored glasses. Nothing is what it is in this world after it's been subjected to whatever tint or spin you put on it. Equally I can say that if you focus on the half empty part, your view is equally stained.
Maybe our eyes aren't supposed to look and see what is or isn't there. Maybe they are supposed to look and assess what benefit the object can be to you.
Like a half full glass can satisfy your thirst, but the half empty part allows room for ice, or more drink.
Instead of listing positives and negatives, maybe I can become more aware of opportunities to make even things that are seemingly negative, work for some kind of benefit :) What do you think?
