Your Glass Is Half Full!
When most people are confronted with a change in their lives
that they didn't want, such as death or divorce, negative
feelings start setting in. These people start looking at
everything in their lives with a "glass half empty" attitude.
Are you doing that? Are you looking at every aspect in your life
with a critical eye? Are you finding that you are dissatisfied

We all want more. We want more for us, more for our children. We
see the best on the rich and famous and we want that for
ourselves. Realistically we all know that it isn't possible. Yet
we are still hoping, buying lottery tickets by the millions.

and famous people with their big white smiles.... they sure do
look happy!
Of coarse money can't hurt! We should always try to improve
ourselves, our lives in every way, personally and monetarily.

the way it is now. You must look at your life and say, "If this
is all there is, I am happy, I am content."

saying, " When I get this I'll be happy." Most people with this
attitude are still unhappy when they get what they want. They
are still dissatisfied. This current achievement doesn
