THE GLASS IS ALWAYS FULL!THE GLASS IS ALWAYS FULL!

How many times have you heard (or asked!) the question ‘Is the glass half-full or half-empty?’ and felt good about the positive ‘Half-full’ answer that you’ve given.

Well I’d like you to take your thoughts to a new level. Because unless you live your life in a vacuum, the glass is ALWAYS full. Sometimes water, sometimes air, sometimes both. ‘The glass’ is in your hands.

The glass is in your hands.

The responsibility for making the most of the contents is, to a very large extent, yours.

If you adopt the mind-set that you CAN make the most of what you’ve got, then you’re half way to success.
