The Rocco Effect - Two Futures

Don't Judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant. - Robert Louis Stevenson



Where we're going is more important than where we are.  Where we're going determines everything, our thoughts, actions and our mood.  When life's going to hell we think negatively, act in accordance, and feel rubbish.  When things are getting better we think clearly, our actions keep pushing us forward and we feel awesome.

We unconsciously know this.  We feel, think and act differently without realizing why, only to look back later, connect the dots and see that life was moving in the wrong direction.  To become more conscious visualize the best and the worst possible futures.  If you notice yourself feeling, acting or thinking negatively ask if you're moving towards the best or worst future, then make the changes needed to get back onto the right path.



Task

1. Spend 10 minutes visualizing your best and worst futures
2. Where are your current actions moving you?
3. What one thing, if stopped, would move you closer to the best future?
4. What one thing, if stopped, would move you towards the worst future?

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.

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.
