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?

The Rocco Effect - Values

If you value the truth, even a white lie, in the hopes to make you feel better, would hurt you. If you value family, only for them to pick friends over you, that would hurt. Often we feel this way, without knowing why and this leads to a lot of stress and questioning ourselves.  Once you know your values, knowing what choice to make is a lot easier. You choose whatever choice is closest to your highest values. Even in failure, you can rest happy, knowing that you made the right choice. Comic Video Reading Task 1.
