The Glass is Half-Full...

Life is a miraculous experience. I mean, just rising from the bed every morning and breathing is a joy in itself but by not allowing sadness or misfortune to consume you...that is where the miracle comes in. In other words, one can only take so much negativity-hardship-failure, before there is a constant state of depression. I read somewhere that there are more cases of clinical depression now than ever...even more people taking drugs to escape to a happy place. I used to sit by this lady on my first job, large woman with an even larger spirit. However, she popped Prozac like they were going out of style...and she would always say "got to take my Happy pill." A pill to be happy...what would God think about that?

Happiness again, is just rising from bed, and thanking God for your existence. However, that is for me. I have come to the conclusion that life is not so grand for everyone. Regardless, it is what you make of it, so no one need see the glass as less than half full...if you have anything in the glass than you have the possibility of doing better. In other words, you have the ability or opportunity to add to what you have; build on the foundation which you currently stand upon. It is the old cliche, make the most out of you situation. It could always be worse...I hear so many people say that and that is not a bad point to make but I rather say it can always get better. I mean if it is bad, than yeah-perhaps something else could happen to take you that much further down but more than likely something will go right...and lift you up. God loves you...honestly, and although trial and tribulation will come God, in my belief system, does not want you to constantly be in confusion and pain. Therefore, as you go through something understand that you will "GO THROUGH IT", meaning it will pass...you will enter and exit out of every situation, in time.

But I am on a tangent...today, I simply want to tell the world that the glass is half-full. Regardless of your situation, the way in which you see yourself within the situation is where the power to overcome it lies. If you believe that you are in a bad relationship, but you see yourself as a good person who has made some bad choices, then change your choices and learn from the situation...God provided the bad relationship to help you later identify what is good. The glass remained half-full in spite of the situation...
