A friend always try to remind me, “Do you see your glass half-empty or half-full?” This phrase never fail to confound me- it is a good litmus test to determine perspectives about life and its conundrum.
It is the oxymoron of all oxymorons- what you perceive is because of what you see, and what you see is because of what you think- The quality of life is determined by the quality of your thoughts.
So here’s the question, again- “Is your glass half-empty or half-full?”
What are you truly thinking about? Or what have you been rehearsing in your mind?
Life will always have its share of dark, dank moments, and the daily grind of each day make up part of trajectories of life. The inevitables. The uncontrollables. The inconceivables.
Similarly, truth be told, we coloured how we see others by what we first think about the person. And over the years, through various encounters or experiences, our lens get foggy, badly compensated and discoloured, as a result we often view the offended person with much prejudices- “it-is-not-ok-to-fail” instead of “it-is-ok-we-all-make-mistake-and-be-forgiven”.
Here’s the question in application- “Do you see your “glass” half-empty or half-full?”
Let’s look beyond the actions of others with re-prescribed lens and renewed mind, you will then be able to emphatise with them better. All it takes is a change in perspectives to receive a “glass-full” of true riches for the soul.
