I begin 2012 with ownership……. I have consistently been tabbed throughout my careers as the “glass half-full” type of guy and in 2012 I will try and embrace that moniker. I have denied it in the past, played it off, even admit to some “glass half-empty” times when I allowed people or events to drag me down…… mostly people. I have come to the conclusion that some people will always be negative or hard to work with, no matter how much you try or give…. and that’s just life. The key is not to get bogged down in trying, but, to accept their lot in life and move past them. In the past I have always tried to move through them, but, in 2012 I will accept the fact that I will be better off moving around them. Sure, I will continue to try and persuade them and manage them towards the “half’-full” life, but in the end, it is their decision and their effort that will be needed to move forward. Some folks are comfortable in their “half-empty” lifestyle and so be it. For those ready to embrace 2012, smile more than you frown, laugh when there is nothing else to say or do, and consistently offer a hand (whether it is taken or not), I not only raise my glass to you, but, I look forward to sharing it as well!
