Is Your Glass Half Full Or Half Empty

I hope you took at look at the video. The question is, is your glass half full or half empty?

When you look at the glass in the picture what does your mind automatically say to you? I know it is a simple analogy, but in my experience, it means a great deal about your ability to be successful in life.

This Is Serious Stuff!

Although this may seem quite trivial to some of you, the way we think, our attitude to life, is probably the biggest factor determining our ability to be successful. If you are happy with mediocrity, working for a boss all your life, not being able to travel, and have free time, this is not for you! It takes time and effort, and a certain degree of risk taking to attain success. It is just the way it is.

Are You Prepared To take Risks?

I went to University. I am sure many of you have attended College or University. I spent 4 years completing my business degree. Although there are some things I learned from that experience, I didn’t get a job based on my qualifications, and For 4 years of my life the returns were minimal. I am using this illustration because most people would be happy to dedicate 4 years and thousands of dollars to an education, thinking that at the end they would get a better job, be more respected, and bring home more money! Fair enough.

These same people look at internet marketing, or network marketing, perhaps give it a go, and if they don’t start making money in a few weeks quit, saying it doesn’t work. Now, if you put the same time and effort into building a home based business you put into a college degree, You would probably earn $100,000 a year or more residual income for the rest of your life. That is equivalent to $2m in the bank at 5% interest, a fairly high level in today’s economy. How long would it take you to save this in your current job?

The Life of The Glass Half Full.

This person always sees the challenges. If they see an opportunity, their first thoughts are, what is the angle? How am I being conned? This can’t possibly be true? You are stupid if you do this. It is all too hard. I am so busy, I couldn’t possibly do this. I am not qualified. These are some of the thoughts of the glass half full person. They are never satisfied, always feeling others are better off, and they never get a fair go.

The Half Glass Full Person.

These people are irrationally optimistic. They see possibilities in everything that comes their way. Everything in life happens for a reason and there is always a positive to come out of any situation, no matter how tragic. If something feels good they check it out, and if it feels right, they jump in. They like someone until their trust is broken. Even then, they view it as a behavior, not the person. They use their creativity to invent magical solutions to problems they encounter. This person never gives up, and once they feel right with a direction will get up again and again until they either feel time is up, or they achieve their goals.

Do You Think These People Experience The Same Life?

The funny thing is that if both of these people experienced exactly the same life challenges, one would see it as a disaster, while the other would be grateful for everything that happened! When you adopt a positive, half full, attitude, you are open to new possibilities. Things seem to come the way of these people. This is not magic. There is a reason.

Why Some People are More Successful.

Success comes in the relationships you have with other people. Whether it is personal or financial, everything you receive comes from other people. Without them we wouldn’t have much of a life. So who would you like to help, to give assistance, to donate money to? Would it be people telling you it can’t work, you are wasting their time, they can’t be bothered, OR those who are grateful, listen to your advice and act on it in good faith?

When we are grateful, open and positive (glass half full) we attract everything we require to have a great life. The more positive and encouraging of others we become, the more they want to give to us, the more they wish to see us attain success.

What You Can Do.

I hope you see the logic of this article. I talk to people very day. Most are skeptical and reluctant to take risks, even if they totally see the sense in it. They come up with ridiculous reasons why they can’t succeed. This is based on the concept their isn’t enough to go around, their glass is half empty.

There are others like me, who keep trying new things. We don’t rush into everything, but we try lots of ideas. Gradually we rise above the pack and start to move towards abundance. If there is a secret, this is it!

Your first step forward is to practice gratitude. Start with being grateful for every good thing in your life. Then extend it to being grateful for absolutely everything, even the bits you don’t like. Think of 5 things you are grateful for first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Do this for 10 days and then see how you feel about life. This simple action can change everything.

Have some fun. All work, no play makes Jack or Jill a dull person. Find something you like that doesn’t involve work and have fun with it. Laughter is another great way to transform your energy.

Take time for inspiration. Find yourself a sanctuary. Somewhere you won’t be disturbed. Go there regularly and use it as your creative space. Going back to the same space will build an energy and pretty soon when you enter that space you will instantly drop into creative mode. From this you draw inspiration and ideas that will take you forward to a magnificent life.
