The Rocco Effect - Availability Cascade

It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen. - Muhammad Ali


If something is repeated often enough, we act as if it's true. If we repeat negative thoughts, we'll soon start acting as if they're true and before long, they'll become true. To avoid falling into this trap we should take control of this bias and use it for our own good. Repeat awesome thoughts, share solutions and slowly start believing in yourself again. With enough repetition these things will become true.

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.
