Half Full or Half Empty?
One who recognizes
the everyday “miracles” of life
can’t help but live
with a hopeful heart.
Recent studies performed by UCLA and the Mayo Clinic revealed that optimists are not just happier, but they are also healthier. They get sick less frequently. They recover more quickly from surgery and injury.
God, through Scripture, gives us so many reasons to have hope. He loves us unconditionally. He promises to guide and comfort us when we seek Him. He guarantees to give us wisdom when we but ask.
Those are big-picture ideas. But how do we get from “half empty” to “half full”? Start by noticing and being thankful for the small things: your health, the fact that you have food, live in a warm house, and can get a good cup of Java on nearly every street corner. Practice taking that same thankful attitude to larger situations and work at steering clear of negativity. You will be happier, healthier- and you may even live longer.
I will hope continually,
And will yet praise thee more ad more…
PSALM 71: 14 KJV
