How Do You See Yourself as a Glass of water? AUTHOR: OMOJUWA FREEDOM DATE: WEDNESDAY 9TH MARCH 2022 Times are tough and many people are struggling to stay optimistic given the state of the economy, the insecurity of their jobs if they have one currently, the strain put together from the one at work and the one at home Incase they are in one relationship. The fact is optimism creates opportunities and pessimism kills it. Like one of the wisdom king Solomon wrote years ago in **proverb 15:15 All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast......** Expecting good things to happen with even little actions will produces positive results but attaching yourself to negativity will keep bringing you problems over and over again even when it's seems everything is fine. Optimism actually means the best outcome or belief in the greatest good, it's true while some people are naturally more optimistic than others, ultimately we all get to wake up everyday wether we are going to be a glass half full or a glass half empty person. People who have their glass half full have abundant asset and they have opened their mind to wherever they are going which is having a **vision**. People with abundance mindset believe that today pain, investment in time and money will eventually bring growth, blessings and success, they are more likely to see where they are going. People with abundance mindset approaches life and opportunities in a principled manner that will bring fortune. **Abundance thinkers believe that** There's enough in the world to go round to everyone though some might be opportune to have more They also believe the more you share in a principle way, the more you grow abundantly because givers never lack. They believe that giving their time, talent and their resources will come back abundantly in different ways and which will lead to them increasing abundantly. **Scarcity thinkers believe that** There's no enough of anything to go round and which might lead to them not having anything. They will lose their power and possession if they keep sharing their knowledge and investing also. The freedom and success enjoyed by abundant thinker becomes obvious when we compare them with that of scarcity thinkers. Thinking scarcitily reduces our effectiveness and there by leading us not to achieve our full potential. People that have scarcity mindset sees their glass as half empty and they never let go of what they have and when they do this, they don't seize or grab the opportunities they encounter and the abundant thinker believe that there's more to this life than just keep holding to what you have. Thanks for reading 💙

I look at the glass of water both ways; as half empty and half full. To me I feel that's the best way to approach life, look at a situation from more than one angle and you will be able to get the full picture. I am both pessimistic and optimistic at the same time, the trick is to be able to strike a balance between those two
Hmm, this is deep, those abundance thinkers will surely have more than enough cos they are always having the mindset that it will definitely go round for everybody no matter the condition.
I think of myself as a realist, which is a mixture of both optimistic and pessimistic. How I see the glass depends on my evaluation of the situation
