The Rocco Effect (Extra) - Social Media

We all know, Social Media is addicting.  Likes, comments and shares are all designed to give us a high. What are we posting in order to seek those highs?  Are we sharing our amazing lives?  Are we sharing knowledge to help others?  Are we sharing humor? or are we sharing reasons why we're week, reasons our lives suck, reasons why others should accept our weakness and depressing lives? 

All of these exist.  Life is a mixture of awesome and crap, it's the same for everyone.  But, if your smart you'd seek out living a more awesome life, compared to a more crap life. If we post crap, we'll seek a life of more crap, in order to post more.  The same is true for those who live awesome lives.  Just compare the lives of the people who share these aspects of their lives. 

To conclude, watch what you post and share.  This is your currency for your social media high.  And like  addict, you'll seek out more in order for that high.  Be aware that others lives are affected by what they post.  Only interact with what you want their lives to grow into

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

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.
