Is your attitude: The Glass 1/2 Full, 1/2 Empty, or Something Else?

Full, Empty or Overflowing?

People talk about their glass being 1/2 Full or 1/2 Empty. However, my childhood friend Helene describe her glass as filled to the top and with bubbles overflowing the rim of the glass. Helene says, “You must keep your own glass not only full, but overflowing so you have all of that to give away!”

“Bubbling Blessings”

My Blue Brain loves Helene’s metaphor. I consider that over flow as the “bubbling blessings” in my life.

Brain Color Perspectives

During this unsettling time of the Coronavirus, it is easy for people to think of their glass 1/2 Empty because of health, economic, and educational, personal, and professional challenges. It is helpful to remember that each Brain Color has a different perspective about how their glasses are filled and/or overflowing.

Yellow Brainers look at their glass as 1/2 Empty because they are worriers and need to feel they are in control of their lives.
Blue Brainers look at their glass as 1/2 Full because they are optimists and and naturally want to create harmony and joy in their lives.
Green Brainers look at their glass as 1/2 Empty because they see a problem that needs to be solved and they are skeptical about situations in their lives.
Orange Brainers look at their glass as 1/2 Full because they look at a situation as an exciting challenge and are energized to get positive results that influence their lives.
