The Rocco Effect - Death (Others)

The comfort of having a friend may be taken away, but not that of having had one – Seneca


The Rocco Effect - Death (Others)

When the time comes and our loved ones part from us, what would be the best state for us to be in?  I believe it to be a state in which we have no regrets.  A state where we are proud of how much meaning we gave to their lives and how much they gave back.  A state in which we believe they smiled, thinking of our time together as they passed.  So how do we make that goal more likely?  

We pause before we speak and act and ask ourselves 'Will I regret saying/doing this?'.  We plan and attend events that will create memories.  We take in as much as we can when we are with loved ones, the sights, sounds, smells ect.  We make sure that regardless of what happened, you both leave every situation happy.  People don't remember specifics, but they do remember how you made them feel, make them feel great.


Task

1. Who's deaths would have the biggest impact on you? Why?
2. What can you do this month to create new memories?
3. How can you leave every situation happy?
4. How can you make amends for any regrets you currently have?

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. If you notice a small problem (or something that could lead to a problem) solve it. See some mess? clean it. Dishes pilings up? Clean them and put them back? No clothes? Clean them. By solving the small problems it gives you more time to do the things you want. You'll have accomplished something so you will feel pride /happy. This is a very easy task and over time the benefits really add up so i highly encourage everyone reading to try this. Wherever you are. Stay seated but lo...
