Half Empty or Full?

Starring at the bottom of the glass
Life deals with everyone regardless of their class
You might be living in a house with diamond or brass
You might like songs so solemn or the ones with heavy bass
You might cook with kerosene or your gas
Life deals with everyone - the rich and the masses
Some people get overlooked while some get attention and passes
Humans can live like a king and some as though they eat the grasses
Life is different for everyone but the desire to be better shouldn't change
I stopped worrying about half-empty glasses a long time ago
Of course, I want my glasses to be full and sometimes I get half-empty ones
I'm only grateful I have a glass in the first place
So I add effort in addition to God's Grace
Life won't always give me what I want without effort
It doesn't matter how bad things are, I shouldn't stop making an effort
Having a defeated mentality makes things even harder
I'm determined to have a positive mindset so I can get through things
It gets the job half done already
Life is all about putting in the effort and making the effort count

The effort matters a lot. The commitment, the zeal, they all matter so much.

My friend @bhoa in a recent conversation said to me, "no one sees effort and looks the other way". he probably wouldn't know but I take his words seriously all the time.

And yes, I completely agree that God makes the equation complete and so we have nothing to worry.

I have learnt from your post to be grateful for the glass 🍷 whether half empty or full 🥂

I'm happy to be a source of encouragement. But you first were a source of insight.

It all depends on the individual, but all we should see is a glass half full always... Nice write up ✌️❤️

In the end we all live in the same heaven, obviously some more blessed than others but we must always give our maximum effort in everything so that there are no regrets later, thanks for this great piece friend ☺

I hope you settle in nicely. I am about 20 miles from London... my hubby travels to Derby from time to time for business. I'm sure our paths will cross at some point 😊 I will let you know if I'm ever going to be in the area - would be lovely to meet up 🤗
