The Rocco Effect - Fix the small problems

Problems are the price you pay for progress. - Branch Rickey


Problems can seem so big that there are no solutions. This sends us into depressions. And when were in that state, things slowly just get worse. In order to avoid this state, seek solutions to small problems.  

Do you expect to lift the heaviest weights the first time you enter a gym? of course not, you start small and work your way up. Don't expect to change the world, if you can't change your clothes. By starting small you learn that you ca solve problems, you learn that not only can find solutions, you can take action in order to solve them. What small problems can you solve now?

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.
