Today’s blog comes to you courtesy of me listening to motivational and inspirational teachings. I’ve been listening to a book called “The Path Made Clear.” Audible can read it to me in a few hours. I finished the book, then started it again. I’m amazed at what I missed the first time.
PETE AND REPEAT
I was moved and inspired. There are many words and thoughts worth repeating. There were myriad ideas I considered profound, but one in particular stuck with me and kept gnawing at my blog brain. The question is, “Is your glass half empty or half full?
WHERE IS THE PITCHER?
Who among us wouldn’t like to live the life of a true optimist? We hear it all the time. Are you a glass half full or a glass half empty kind of person? Although I don’t have much experience with depression, I’d imagine many see their glass as half empty. One of the book’s featured guests said, “It doesn’t matter if the glass is half empty or half full, what matters is that we know where a pitcher is in which to fill it from.”
- OPTIMIST
I am happily married to Mr. Optimist, John Jain. Even when he is down, he is up. I admit to being human and find myself with an occasional bout of doubt or pessimism. When John noticed I had some lower vibrational energy recently and my glass felt only about half full that day he told me, “You ought to read your own blogs.” Noted John, thanks!
