Half full or half empty?

Have you ever met someone who's take on life is so negative that you just want to cry for their soul??? Today's quote of the day, March 25, 2008, really hit me as to what the reason for this negativity may be. Albert Einstein is quoted, saying "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." If everything is a miracle, how could you not be excited to wake up every morning and see what the new day will bring? You wouldn't be able to take our world for granted and misuse the precious resources that have been made available for our use.

On the other hand, if nothing is a miracle, what motivation is there to do more than take up space and destroy what's around you? Those who fail to "live the miracle" have no gratitude or sense of wonder.

While we can't force others to live as though everything is a miracle, we should not be ashamed to live as though everything is a miracle. Do not be afraid to seem too passionate about life. You may be misunderstood, thought foolish, "over the top" , better this than the other option!

Perhaps the schools should post this quote in every room. Einstein could change the next generation for the better if they knew him for this quote as well as his forumula we all remember him for E=mC^2. If you look at the formula, you can almost understand why he felt this statement on miracles to be true.

E (energy) = m (miracles) x C ( ∞ gratitude) times itself. So in other words, positive energy occurs when we live our life as everything is a miracle, we take this energy and combine it with infinite gratitude and share this gratitude infinitely the "miracle life" spreads.

Now take this same formula and change the ingredients. Negative energy is formed.

E (energy) = miracles x C (0 gratitude) times itself. If you take into account that 1 is a given, then you end up with negative energy.

Of course, I'm not a mathematician, which I'm sure is obious to those that may be and I'm stretching a theory to make a point here. Then again, maybe I'm on to something. I'll have to run it by my resident math guys when they get home from school and they can tell me where my logic is faulty, they often do, until they have a few years to think about the possibilities! : )

You ought to send it to a News team (TV ) honestly, we need good tips like that for people to hear! 

 

Also, to show you that the good IS winning (oh, yes,just  wait the next decade!) see just those two (amongst quite some others) examples:

Gratitude is so important! Be grateful for what you have each day and don't take it for granted. Even though you may have struggles, there is always someone who doesn't have it as good as you.

Half Full

I always try to see the glass half full becuase it usually results in a positive energy and a much more desireable lifestyle.  Einstein had a good point.
