The Glass Is Full

Preface
Welcome!
You have chosen to read this book for a reason. There is a reason behind everything that happens in this life. And what an exciting journey it is going to be! Do you know why? Because you are finally going to realise that you hold the power to make it an exciting journey.
It will be a journey of becoming empowered and actually feeling that power within you. A journey in which your whole perspective of this life will change in ways that will make you feel better because you will view it in a positive way!
It will be a journey in which the words “I can’t” get thrown out the window, and you finally realise and believe that there are no limits to what you can do (because you control what you do and how you view this life). You—and you alone—hold that key and that power … no matter what the situation might be!
It will be a journey in which you discover that every minute of every day you can make the choice to say, “Yes, I can”—and then you can go ahead and do it. Believe me … it is that easy!
It will be a journey in which you learn and understand that you are a physical, spiritual, and emotional person—and that all three of those parts of you need to coexist and work together to bring about harmony within you.
“So what does The Glass IS full actually mean?” you ask.
Well … think about it for a minute. Most of us will remember being told when young, “When you see a glass filled halfway with water, see it as a glass half-full, not as a glass half-empty.” To an extent, that’s true. But thinking of the glass in that way is not realising the full potential of being positive in your life. What do I mean?
Ask yourself, “What things in this world are the most important for our survival?”
One obvious answer is water. Everyone knows we can’t survive without water. You learn on all of those survival shows on TV these days that if you get stuck in the middle of nowhere, make sure you stay hydrated. Am I right, or am I right?
But one thing everyone forgets (especially in Western society) is how important air is. We just can’t survive without air … can we?
Do you get why the glass is always full now?
When I look at a glass, if it is half-full of water, I not only see the water, but also I see that it is half-full of air. So it is always full! Even when the glass appears to have no water in it, it is still full of air. It is always full.
How easy life is when you adopt this way of looking at the glass and put it into effect in your life.
For example, everything that happens each minute of your day presents the opportunity for you to learn something. Everything!
Every moment of every day is full of experience and life. Even the ability to live, to breathe air, is a gift in itself.
When you view your life as a glass that is always full of something, no matter what happens around you, you will always feel fulfilled. Your life will always feel full and filled. That is the secret to happiness!
I think this has to be the problem with this modern Western society: most people just want more and more and more. They never see their glasses (that is, their lives) as full of happiness. They focus on what’s missing! And it’s not usually what’s missing inside—it’s usually what they have on the outside that seems to matter most!
“My house is not big enough,” “My boobs aren’t big enough,” “I want to wear that designer’s clothes because everyone else is,” “I want more money,” “I want, I want, I want.”
In our instant gratification society, people spend too much time worrying about what’s on the outside. They use fad diets, pills, cosmetic surgery, and credit cards to fix it their problems, but they forget to live in the moment and feed their soul with those moments. Money can’t buy those conscious moments. They forget to stop and listen to the sounds of life and appreciate the fact that they are alive. That in itself is a miracle, but we forget this fact very quickly. If you remember to appreciate every experience and view each day of your life as an experience from which you can grow and learn, you won’t feel the need to fill your life with stuff. You will always lead a full life, no matter what you have.
That doesn’t mean you can’t work hard and earn money to pay your bills. It is just how you view your life that makes it a happier one. If you see your life as full, you will wake each day feeling happy. This has an effect on how you work and perform. That joy for life will translate into your work and your life, and you will always be fulfilled. The money just comes. It is a benefit, but it doesn’t rule your life. After all, however much money you have, your view of the world will be as follows: “I have everything, and I enjoy everything I have.” The universe will keep sending it to you. The minute you start seeing your life as not being fulfilled, you will always see it that way. Negative energy breeds negative energy.
It’s time to put those glasses on and see the world through those new lenses. It’s time to start appreciating every moment as a gift of sorts. That seems simple enough, doesn’t it? Believe me: it is that simple!
All you have to do is believe!
Your glass is full.
