The Glass

Your mind set is one of the key players on how your life turns out, I strongly agree that “you are what you thing about the whole day” Or the Bible verse:

Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…”

What is more important is HOW YOU THINK ABOUT IT, you have to be “the glass is half full” type of person. Here is a little story before I continue:

“Once upon a time, in a land far far away, lived a man with two sons. The man was a drunkard and abused women/kids, his wife had died by his hands when the boys were still young.

The boys both grew up with this tyrant of a man, this drunkard. They witness everything from the heavy drinking to the abuse. The man died when the boys were teenagers, he choked in his own vomit.

One day the boys were men, all grown up and leading their own lives. One of the boys was a drunkard and abusive just like his father, the other was a well-mannered church goer who respected women.

An old man who lived next door to where they grew up asked them why they both turned out to be how they are:

The first one answered, “my father was like this, I picked up everything I am doing from him, how did you expect me to turn out?”

The second one answered, “I watched my father abuse women and drink himself to death, I told myself I would never turn out to be like him”

These two young men above had the same house, mother, father, air, water, food, school, etc. But have different results, they grew up to be two different people. How does such magic happened??? It is simple, YOUR MIND SET…

Whatever situation you are faced with, it does not define you nor your future. What matters is how you look at it and deal with it, are you a ‘glass half-full’ or ‘glass half empty’…

You can use the situation as an excuse, keep it in your pocket so you can take it out and show it to people when they ask you why you have failed or where you are. Or you could use the same situation as you motivation, keep it as a reminder of where you shouldn’t be.

In life, you have to be optimistic, it is called “The law of attraction”, most of the people that are successful agree about this, listen to their interviews. They say before you can have it, you have to see it, you have to see the glass half full.

So you really want to think about positive things the whole day, block out the negative things and stay away from things that demotivate you or force you to see the glass half empty.

Think about your success every day, see it, smell it, listen to it talk to you, but please don’t answer back, people will think you are crazy and you will be taken away from society.
