“To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.” ~Buddha

Half Full Friday is a series of weekly posts that Eye Girl originally started in June 2009.  Now the it is hosted by Sprinkles at Wyldechylde.  We believe that a lot of our happiness is determined by our attitude about the things that happen to us. So by participating, we are deciding to see the glass as half full, instead of half empty. We are choosing to concentrate on the positives, instead of dwelling on the negatives. Our Half Full Friday posts are a way to do just that. They are a list of the things in our life that have brought us happiness over the past week. We are determined to find the something good in every day. Are you?

“The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.” ~Allan K. Chalmers

"Don't give up!  You will succeed and be Happy if that's what you truly want." ~Unknown

My question:  When you feel like giving up; how do you Not?

My answer: I refocus, PRAY and take one day at a time. :-)

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down to your feet.  Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist.  Be curious.  And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.  It matters that you don’t just give up.” ~Professor Stephen Hawking on his 70^th birthday.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle." ~Steve Jobs

My answer: I have passion for my new job; my writing; the 2 books I'm working on; and for the future I can see in my dreams!

"A vision of a desired future allows you to engage and identify immediately in your focus with an improved condition. It changes what you perceive and how you perform - NOW. It’s not about achieving something in time. It’s rather about the quality of choices you are making in this moment – what you choose to perceive, feel, and do.  It’s about getting the most out of your experience."~David Allen

"Courage is the display of a decision to let go of the familiar as you explore the unknown." ~David L. Hanson

 My question:  Are you living you're dreams, or staying in a familiar comfort zone?

My answer: I believe I am; although I admit that many times I stall out or stop moving forward.  Those are the times when I stay far too long in a 'comfort zone' keeping familiar jobs and safe surroundings; until something happens in my life that I don't expect... pushing and moving me forward to my dreams.  

“To the degree we’re not living our dreams, our comfort zone has more control of us than we have over ourselves.” ~Peter McWilliams

Have a wonderful, safe and warm weekend!!
Many Blessings,

"If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it -- change the way you think about it." ~Mary Engelbreit 

 My question:  Do you believe negative people can change?

My answer: I absolutely do!   If one takes responsibility for the own thoughts, actions, including bad behavior; and then above all.. WANT to Change!  Sadly... few negative people do any of those things and never change.  

"People can change until they take their last breath." ~Alton R. Jorgenson
