how do you know?

I do not know... its a mystery.

Is this glass half-full or half empty?

I've heard it said that how you answer this question speaks about your mindset.... Do you see the world in apostive light, or a negative light?

If you say that this cup is half full, means that you are thinking positively. You see what  is present instead of focusing on whats missing...  

in contrast... if you see this  glass as half empty, it suggests that you are looking at the world in a negative perspective. You are  focusing on what is lacking more than you focus on what you have  before you.

The world is  in many ways what we interpret it to be.  We never can see the world how it really is... but only a subjective perspective.

It is true that things could be better.. of course.. but as long as we breath, things could also be way worse.

If we are here.. if we are alive, we are  champions.. and we are very fortunate.

This is a great image to keep on the home screen of your phone to remind you how you are thinking when you see it. Are you thinking positive, or are you  thinking negative?

What if you're whole life is an Adventure Game, and you're the main character?

5 Guidelines for Life

A tail or two wolves.

Within each of us, there are two wolves locked in a fierce battle. One wolf is dark, filled with anger, envy, greed, arrogance, and hatred. The other wolf is light, embodying love, joy, peace, kindness, and humility.

These two wolves fight for control over our hearts and minds.

Which wolf will win, you ask?

The one you feed.
