The Rocco Effect - The Future Is Unwritten

 The future is unwritten - Joe Strummer

How often have you seen the future change in a blink of an eye?  2020, for instance.  We started with Australia in flames, WW3 getting talked about, a deadly virus engulfing the world, lockdowns, social distancing, masks ect.  It seemed like the future was changing everyday.  It seemed like 2020 was different, but it wasn't, the future always lies in uncertainty.

How often have you witnessed the future changing? Death, birth, break ups, a new relationship, huge losses, gigantic wins/losses ect.  How should we handle these constant changes?  How do we live life knowing that the future we envision is likely to change in reality?  

We focus on our mental growth.  The knowledge we gain, the skills we acquire and the memories we have gathered.  They can't be taken from us unless through death (of the mind).  No matter the future if were knowledgeable, have the skills and have our memories to help guide us, we'll survive, and thrive when others are beaten down by the changes. Imagine yourself homeless, how do you survive that for a day/week/month/year?  Others before us have survived much worse.  You can too.
