LIFE: HALF EMPTY, HALF FULL, OR SOMETHING DIFFERENT?

"Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor." - Rumi

Half Empty, Half Full, or Something Different?                         

Do you tend to see life as for you or against you? Do you consider the glass half full or half empty?

But there’s another perspective. Consider that the glass is actually full, because it is: half with air and half with water. This is not just a clever, trick answer. Nor is it naïve.

Consider the value of air. Like water, it’s needed to survive. In the usual perspective of this popular saying, the top portion of the glass is seen as empty. But something unseen is always present in that space.

We can use this perspective as a touchstone for remembering that, like air, we can’t see inner strength, beauty, courage, wisdom, hope or love, or any of the powerful resources within us. But they exist.

We can also choose to see life as fully with us, guiding us through every lesson toward healing, understanding, and growth.  If this feels like a stretch for you: Stretch! Make a little room for the possibility that life really is working in your favor. Consider using affirmations and daily meditation. And watch what happens.

With faith,
