5 REASONS TO DELAY GRATIFICATION

DELAYED GRATIFICATION is the ability to hold out now for a better reward later.

Delayed gratification allows you to do things like forgo large purchases to save for a vacation, skip dessert to lose weight or take a job you don’t love but that will help your career later on.

Here are 5 reasons you should do this:

➡ You will develop more patience…

Having an impulse response is often associated with impatience or frustration. When you wait you become better at waiting and therefore you become more patient.

➡ You will have greater clarity…

Deliberation gives you time to fully consider the options. When you wait and put the bigger picture first, you will see all the outcomes and therefore be much clearer in the strategic view.

➡ You will make better decisions…

When you are looking at the long term outcomes you are much more likely to get the actions right along the way. You will take your time, you will be thoughtful about what you should do and with a bit of luck, you will make the right / better decision.

➡ You will become more persistent…

Waiting for success means that you know that the short term efforts will lead the long term success. This allows you to understand that the small steps now will get you there eventually and you will be prepared to keep pushing to get there – eventually 🔥 🔥 🔥

➡ You will be more grateful…

When you have to wait for something or work hard for it, you are very much more grateful for it. You know the saying, “easy come, easy go” well that is very true. If you get things easy then they mean less. When you have waited and pushed, when you finally make it, it means so much more – enjoy ❤️❤️❤️

I hope this week is fabulous for you friends 🔥 🔥 🔥
