The Rocco Effect - Qualities

The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways. - Robert Greene


All too often we focus on what we lack, leading us to feeling useless and depressed.  If focusing on what we lack leads to negative feelings, what would the opposite look like?   I want to train you to focus on what qualities you do have and start feeling pride and joy because of them.  I've listed below qualities a lot of us should have.  Don't let the fact most people have them discourage you, a lot aren't as fortunate and seeing these qualities through their eyes should give you a new respect for how grateful you should be to have them.  

I can...  Read, write, draw, walk, run, fight, sing, swim, dance, joke, teach, endure,   

I am...  strong, smart, fast, patient, kind, helpful, happy, a good friend, beautiful,    

If you struggle ask your friends and family.  They'll often be able to see skills that you've not been able to see.  What qualities do you admire in your friends?  There is a good chance you have those qualities as well.

Bonus - Everything is on loan

Everything is on loan.   Our possessions, our friends, family, even our own lives.  If we're lucky the loan is repaid after we die, but we've all had loans retuned before we where ready or worse, before we were aware it was a loan. Whenever you are in a state of truly loving life remind yourself 'This is all on loan.'  Be grateful and take in all you can, cause one day, memories is all you'll have left.

Fix the small problems

If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. -  William H. McRaven This has multiple benefits for 1 fixing problems makes your world a better place, living in a better world should make you happier.  It also serves as a small win.  It's an easy task but do enough small things and you'll start feeling proud and happier.  And it's not just you who lives on this world, if your help affects others then your likely to get more and more people who like you.
