GLASS HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY

Shanus · ‎05-17-2010

At this time of year, there are blessings, happiness, tragedies, sadness, loneliness or depression. I'm a positive person and most of the time can pull myself up and over to a good place.

How do you try to handle the trials that you face?

@Travone Yes and try to remember that even though there are very hard things, my cup runneth over with blessings.

@Shanus It has been a really tough year for me, (company I worked for closed, health issues for me and family members, car issues etc) but I am resolving for the New Year to give myself an attitude adjustment and go for a "half full" outlook. I usually am a positive person, but this year just threw me for a loop. Time to get rid of the negativity and the pity parties.

I need to keep busy, remember the good things that I do have in life and keep praying for positive outcomes.

I keep things in perspective and just put one foot in front of the other.

i allow myself to feel sorry for myself - for about 1 minute - then switch to building a plan to return to the light. it usually involves doing something for someone else - or for a cause - something to pull myself out of myself so i can regain perspective. when i can see the Big Picture, i usually see how very very lucky i am.

@FlyersGirl It does sound like a lot to handle. You seem to be headed on the right path. Best of luck.

As my father used to say "This too shall pass." In the meantime, prayer and a couple of glasses of wine--LOL!!!

If I thought this life was as good as it gets -- I'd be discouraged more often. But I have hope of a peaceful, eternal resolution. Many Americans live a life of privilege. I remind myself of that daily when I complain about troubles. I also ask, what am I supposed to learn from this situation?
