half full or half empty?

this age-old philosophical question simply boils down to choice.

although seemingly inconsequential, your answer to this question is present in your attitude, your decisions, your reactions, your aura. it can actually influence outcomes, persuade others and dictate your path in life.

so what? i mean, sometimes it just seems easier to see the glass as half empty, right? maybe things aren't going your way or you feel you can't catch a break, so why feel anything but pessimistic? because perceiving life negatively is a self-fulfilling prophecy. and because you have a choice.

having hopefulness and confidence about the future can help reshape the world around you. it can change your outlook and put you on a path where new experiences and opportunities await. simply put, emanating positive energy into the world influences the positive energy and experience you receive back.

so how do you choose to see the glass?
