Peace, Happiness, and Living Half Full.

What a concept.  Peace.  And happiness?

I am amazed at the pace of my life.  One day seems to morph into the next day.  If the days weren’t numbered on the calendar I don’t think I could tell them apart.  I have three phone numbers, three e-mail accounts. Let’s not forget the Blackberry and the old-fashioned fax machine.  A “day off” has become a day in which I simply don’t work as much as I do on non-day off days.  I wonder if the pace of life is actually getting me some where, or is it simply blurring the view?

So who has time for this peace and happiness stuff?

Living Half Full…defined.

So what, exactly, is Living Half Full?    Actually, it’s more of a mindset.  A mindset that is a foundation of true peace and happiness.  It is living a life based upon what is, a life based upon gratitude and appreciation for what you are and what you possess right now.  We are all an accumulation of all that we have gathered and experienced, both materially and immaterially.  The stuff, the relationships, the life experiences…we are all sum totals of all that has happened so far.  Yet there is a real tendency to focus on what isn’t, on what we feel is missing.  Still looking for the “right” stuff, the “right” relationships, the “right” life experiences.  All too often we base our happiness upon the achievement of obtaining what it is we feel is missing, as if what we currently have could not possibly become a source of true happiness.

It’s a Great Day To Be You!

It’s all about you.

And why shouldn’t it be?

You’re a collection of unique gifts and characteristics. You are the only you there will ever be! The world needs you to be who you really are. The you that becomes the gifts and characteristics that make up your true self. 

Sometimes, though, we forget about our own greatness. We start listening to the voices of doubt and negativity that surround us. Our world view, once of abundance, hope, and opportunity, becomes jaded, abundance replaced with scarcity, improbability replacing possibility. Nothing has changed, except the way that we look at the world and at ourselves. 

PERCEPTION The difference between living half empty and Living Half Full is only a perception. Your perception. But you get to choose the way you look at the world and the way you choose to look at yourself. The sole purpose of this site is to challenge you to return to your own greatness, and then to challenge you to offer your greatness to the world.
