It’s all good. I love that statement. The other day I saw an image post on Facebook that said to not think of the glass as half full or half empty but that it’s refillable! Man, that hit me. I had an immediate shift in my thinking and each day now I think ‘it’s refillable’ – I define my “it’s” as anything I choose.
If something isn’t going the way I want, I can stop and refill and not have to go down the dark path of thinking negative thoughts. I love that I can change my thinking immediately.
What about you? Are you a glass half full or half empty person? Would a change in your thinking help you with your goals? As a business owner, it’s easy to get caught up in limiting beliefs and ways of doing things that aren’t supportive. Geez just watch an episode of The Profit on CNBC and you’ll know what I mean.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter of half full, half empty and the new one, refillable. Feel free to comment here or send me a private email at kim@kimravida.com.
One thing I can always count on are my pets to keep me in the moment and having fun. Yesterday I shared with you my Bernese Mountain Dog Baloo. Here is “the brother”, Razz enjoying his time in the snow!
Isn’t it great that you can put a positive or negative spin on anything, simply by looking at it in a different light! I’m more of a positive, half full type of person. But then I typically look at things with an “it is what it is” point of view, knowing it is what it is and I either adjust to it or change it. The only thing that’s half full right now is the delicious fruit smoothie I’m drinking. I can always make more 😉
Terry, sometimes surrendering to what is is freeing!

Great post. We most certainly have the ability to look at what we want and how we want to react to it. I am a glass half full kind of person. There are days when it is the opposite and then something like a quote, song or something hits me like a message and reminds me I have the choice to decide how to took at the situation; full or empty. Looks like Razz is having fun
Hi Karen, it’s that knowing that we have the power to shift in an instant. It sure sounds like you are great at doing so. Kind of like refilling the glass =)
