When It comes to the glass
being half empty or half full,
optimism is really about perspective.

Half-emptied disappointments
that have seemed to fill our lives.
One step forward and two steps back.
But the next time we made three steps forward.

Half-full of our potential.
The things we dreamed about becoming reality.
The things we prayed for coming to fruition.
Living life and not just existing in it.

If we changed our perspective,
how much more could we achieve?
What would the glass look like
if we dared to believe?

Would we keep holding on to perspective
or see the emergency and break the glass?
