Like a glass of water, our life can be half full or half empty. It is completely up to us on how we view and how we spend our life. If we choose to live our life fully, and fill our life with love, kindness and compassion, then we will always be rich. If we choose to live a life that is half empty and full of negativity then we will not be able to accomplish stillness of the mind or peace of the heart; our glass will always remain half empty and like water, our life will eventually grow stale.
