Going Halfsies on Change

Not sure how I’m feeling about America’s future today. I’m kind of stuck in the middle between glass half empty and half full.

Half full:
I have become convinced that everything we think and feel is merely perception: that our lives – individually as well as communally – are molded around such perception: and that if we want to change, we must alter our perception. When we give our energy to a different dream, the world is transformed. To create a new world, we must first create a new dream. - John Perkins

Half empty:
Things to Know About the Future:
It doesn’t have to look any particular way, but around here, if it doesn’t, a lot of people will never speak to you again. -Brian Andreas


From which glass do I drink? The brew in the half empty glass is the easier one because I don’t have to do anything; I can just blame others if the future sucks. And I don’t even know if I’m worthy to drink from the “let’s change the dream” chalice.

Well, no matter from which glass I drink, I’m lucky because at least I know where my glass is.
