The world is going to throw at you whatever it’s going to. We can choose to be optimistic, positive, and look on the bright side, or be pessimistic, negative, and see gloom and doom.

This decision is one of the few things we control.

Choose the former, and life will be more pleasant for both you and those you know.

Or we can claim we are a victim—that the world isn’t fair, we were mistreated, abused, slighted, and minimized.

Of course we were.

And?

What’s left is the decision we make about the glass. The one that’s half full or half empty. By now, how we see that glass and the meaning we attach to it has become habituated. The ruts are deep, requiring massive amounts of sustained pressure to escape.

But let’s try anyway.

Because it’s a choice. And choose carefully. The very act of deciding changes everything.
