The Glass is Full.

Passion is something a lot of us search our souls for.  What I have found over the years is that the journey to finding your passion is sometimes not given as much credit as it deserves.  I myself longed for some time to know just what it is that makes me tick, what tickles my fancy and what would make my millions.  Sometimes i was so caught up with figuring it out that i forgot to just keep living and let life show me.

Whether you are looking for the love of your life, the perfect job or just want to feel more fulfilled, just keep moving forward.  We sometimes worry too much and all it does is rob us of our happiness.  Scrolling down my "wall" just today I came across a great photo and short story.


A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything."
It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down! -author unknown


A little food for thought for the day. :)

  1. Everyone should start holding a glass of wine instead. This way there's no chance we hold on to it too long, the temptation to drink and enjoy it would be too great. Love is wine so drink up!!!
