Half Empty is Optimistic

Posted by: gretchen on Tuesday, December 4th, 2007 in Challenges | 1 Comment

GlassThe “half empty” means you’re pessimistic analogy has always been a mystery to me. Yeah, I get the analogy, but I think we’re looking at the wrong side of the glass sometimes. Why focus on what’s already in the container when there is so much empty space to fill? The empty space is the exciting part. It means that there is freedom to create and do and be. It’s space. It’s room to breathe. I like the empty part of the glass. To me the glass will always be half-empty. In fact, I’m usually looking for things to pour out of it to make MORE room. Less is More. Empty is the New Full.
