Halfway through the first week of the new year, there’s one question that lingers that will define how you’ll view the forthcoming events (good and bad) in your life throughout 2018:

Actually, it’s one picture.

While I’ve been to the original Hofbräuhaus in Munich, Germany (absolutely amazing!), this impressive replica is from a chain outside the Strip in Las Vegas. Moreover, do you perceive the liter glass mug to be half-full or half-empty?

It’s a debate we should all participate in and explore.

I am a glass half-full kind of person. In life, this psychological mindset demands optimism, a flexible vision, and creativity and strength to adapt in a moment’s notice.

In drinking that beer, it meant there was still half of a positively refreshing beer to enjoy. Until it was gone.

I’m also a finish-a-full-beer kind of guy.
