Why are some people “glass half empty” and some people “glass half full” kind of folks? Why do some see only the negative in a situation while others see opportunity?
The fact is we choose the words we use to describe our situation. So if we describe a situation as a problem or a disaster that is exactly what it is.
Describe a situation as an opportunity and that is what it is.
The language we use reflects a certain reality but it also deflects a competing reality. So the person who chooses negative words to see a situation as a disaster is unable to see it any other way. There are no opportunities in that situation.
And vice versa.
Start looking at your situation as an opportunity. It may not be the best situation you could want but look for the positives. Maybe you've cut your spending to bare bones and found yourself more appreciative of what you have. Or you've been able to devise some new low cost marketing strategies to reach your target market. Take action to move yourself toward those new opportunities.
