I would always focus on the pain and the things that I couldn\u2019t do. From this description alone, most people would consider me a \u201cglass-half-empty\u201d kind of guy. But the thing is: that\u2019s not at all true. I didn\u2019t look at the glass as half empty \u2014 I just saw empty.   The whole question of, \u201cAre you a glass-half-full or a glass-half-empty person?\u201d already sets us up for the wrong answer, and in turn, the wrong way to look at life. So, in today\u2019s episode, I\u2019m going to break down every aspect of this analogy, explain why it doesn\u2019t work, and share how you can begin to fill up your glass with liquid \u2014 even to the point where it overflows!   If this is something that you struggle with, I hope you\u2019ll tune in to hear how you can fill up your glass and the secret sauce to truly shifting your perspective!   IGNTD Specials: Free IGNTD Recovery Workshop New IGNTD Recovery Live Online Support Groups IGNTD.com\/Secret   Topics Discussed: [:35] About today\u2019s special episode. [4:03] Here\u2019s the thing: you can only focus on one thing at a time. So you\u2019re either looking at your glass empty or full. [5:08] Taking a deep dive into the needs and motivations of what it is that allows us to analyze how our life is going by breaking the glass analogy up into three parts. [6:00] The glass: the three major factors that you need to feel comfortable about to allow your glass to even hold liquid. [8:10] The liquid in our glass: what it is made up of and how we can get more of it. [10:43] The secret sauce: the flavor and richness of the liquid of our glass and how it is determined. [14:52] If we want our lives to be filled with joy, fulfillment, and impact, then the whole \u2018glass-half-full or glass-half-empty\u2019 is the wrong way to look at things. [17:15] In summary: here\u2019s how to shift your perspective and focus on filling your glass.
