Is the cup half full or is the cup half empty?
Posted by MyMedicalRecords | Filed under Personal Health

I have a 30 year old Styrofoam cup in my dressing cabinet. No one sees it but me and I look at it almost every day. It holds my collars stays (the little plastic things to keep my shirts from being crumpled) and it has a line in blue ink around the middle. When I was in my 30’s I participated in a program called Lifespring.

During one of my more intense Lifespring trainings Jack Zwissig, then the trainer and today an MMR Board Member gave me that cup. I think I paid $1500 for it at the time never realizing how valuable it would become. Jack handed me the empty Styrofoam coffee cup asking what did I see? I answered what any reasonable person would answer “a cup”. Then he drew the line around the cup and asked…..is this cup half full or half empty? And that’s where the story begins and why I think look at and think about that cup almost every day.

So today I reached for my cup and I found this link, it tells readers that MMR should be viewed as one of the top five companies to watch in health care today, http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/05/prweb4031374.htm , Now you might ask what does my Styrofoam cup have to do with being one of the top five companies to watch in healthcare technology in 2010? Simply put to me it means “half full” and continuing on our way.

When I look at my 30 year old dog-eared cup I always see it “half full” and I remember that day at The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel when Jack gave it to me. The memories that make up our life are the most valuable treasures we own. I have lots of stuff but very little as important as that cup (and the harmonica swizzle stick whistles I played with growing up at my grandparents house).

The point of this blog is to is to get you to make your own cup. All you need is a Styrofoam cup and a blue pen. Draw a line around the middle of the cup and think about how you will go about the decisions in your life today. Will you come from your cup being half full or half empty? I always look at my cup as half full even when I feel a little empty. That how I remind myself of all life’s daily opportunities specifically MMR as all of you know by now which takes up the majority of my life.

Many of you have helped make the Institute for Health Technology Transformation prediction possible and to all who did and will continue to help make it happen as customers, followers and shareholders thank-you.

Over the past week it became obvious how important it was for me to always look at my cup as half full. The half full cup reminds me of the many adversities that have come and gone in my life that would have been so much more challenging if my cup were half empty. It also reminded me of all the opportunities that lie ahead. It reminded me to focus on what is in the cup, not what was missing from the cup. And most importantly it reminds me to come from abundance and not scarcity.

I would hate to spend my day focusing on telling people why they will fail. I would rather enjoy coming from abundance. To many people come from a focus on scarcity and as such miss abundance.

Having a half full cup always around reminds me to focus on keeping it full rather than worrying about what its missing. So with that I think I’ll go find some customers to fill my cup and do my part to make sure the Institute gets to be right.

First I think I’ll get a Starbucks.
