Glass half full. Glass half empty

Living Now Magazine

Nivedita Mehta From somebody who perpetually perceives the glass as half full, I have often wondered out of curiosity about those who observe with equal conviction that the glass is in fact half empty! After all why not choose the wonderful feelings of abundance, safety and gratitude which accompany the positive observation of our physical environment? The only thing which comes between you and an event, person, experience, circumstance or life is the meaning you attach to it – in other words, how you choose to perceive it. Perception lies between joy and discontentment, love and loathing, feelings of wholeness and emptiness, achievement and failure, forgiveness and illness. Manage your perception so it allows you to feel good, powerful and joyous – your true state. Nivedita is a spiritual counsellor with two masters degrees in Psychology and HR Management.
