A boy comes home from his first philosophy class.
He asks his mom: “Is the glass half empty or half full?”
She smiles. “It depends. Are you drinking, or are you pouring?”

The condition of the glass is framed by the intention of the observer.

Half-empty isn’t always lack. Sometimes it’s an invitation to awareness.

A half-empty glass can mean…

You’ve already made progress.
There’s still work to be done.
You’re in the middle of the story.
It’s time to decide whether to savor or refill.
You’ve shared part of what you had.
You still have something left to give.
The moment isn’t finished yet.

Emptiness—and fullness—are in the eye of the beholder.

The important thing isn’t how you name it, but what you do with it.

What are your half-empty glasses telling you?
