Is your glass half-full?

Some think of their life, their circumstances to be never good enough, never satisfying enough to be happy and content.

Recently a friend said to me, "your glass is always full - how come?"

I was first quite astonished about this question and how it was phrased.... but on reflection, I believe my genuine attitude and positive mindset are the reasons why. I believe:

I have only this 1 life, so better make the most out of it. Cherish all the good, and ensure that I live every day without regrets. Learn from mistakes and try to do better .... life is about learning and growing.

And so even the "lemons" that life presents, are better appreciated as opportunities to reflect, to learn, to course-correct. There are so many ways to life your life, so many different routes to travel along, so many cross-roads that lead down different alleys....so many ways to make use of "lemons" ;-)

If I get the notion that my glass is only half-full, then I feel the responsibility to take action and make sure that it's filled up - in a proverbial sense.

And so I say wholeheartedly: my glass is full to the rim and it feels deeply gratifying and fulfilling - simply wonderful (in the truest meaning of words: full of wonder).
