So anything you pursue, do it passionately and intensely. It may not seem it in the immediate. But persevere and be consistent. Your future will be a testimony. Good luck. 💙
An aeroplane flies by first walking.
After walking, she then starts running, and runs so fast to a point that the earth agrees that it is unfair to allow it walk, so it then lifts. And fly. ...
Same thing happens with a race car; it starts by walking. Then can run so fast to a point it lifts.
The point here is this:
there’s a way you become passionate or run after a thing, that the cosmos agrees it’s unfair to deny you that experience. ..
Pleasure only comes after pain, not before. That’s GOD’s standard.
Anytime you are enjoying before pain, you’ve violated a law. And my dear, your pain will be unbearable.
Anything you are doing, that you don’t find pleasure or excitement doing, you’ll find it very ...
..to sacrifice or delay pleasure.
Anywhere you work that satisfaction is not derived, you may need to reverse, because you are not in your purpose. When you are, delayed gratification becomes easy. ..
In this life process, to grow, you need to ask yourself this; “What am I doing for others”?
You won’t achieve tangible in this realm until you learn how to sacrifice.
Sacrifice is tested in the face of pain. So if there’s no pain, you didn’t sacrifice. ..
..The pain is a door leading you somewhere.
To do things for others is very painful and challenging. Because you also have needs. However, that’s the door to your success.
Always remember that the ultimate test of a man's conscience will be his willingness to sacrifice ...
3. If you don’t like to read, here are 4 steps;
1. Do you sacrifice for what you love?

Today, a lot of young lives would have been better had they or their parents learnt and practised delayed gratification.
They were once rich. But by the fun of life, they blew away the resources. Now they give stories about the days of yore.
...
It is better not to be there, than be there and become “one time rich”. I tell you it’s terribly frustrating and degrading.
You can only maintain the wealth by taking painful and wise decision of resiting immediate pleasures. Especially that of self. ..
In 1972, a professor of psychology; Walter Mischel, conducted an experiment about delayed gratification, that ended up becoming very popular.
It's called the marshmallow test.
He offered children the choice between one small but immediate reward, ...
...or two similar rewards if they waited for a period of time.
A lot couldn���t wait, but some waited for about 15 minutes and were rewarded.
In a follow-up studies, Mischel found out that children who were able to wait, turned out to have better life outcomes. ..
Truth is, you will always be faced with two, many, or a myriad of choices. As always, your decisions will determine your future. Life are opportunities, but success are decisions.💙
Delayed gratification is the process of resisting the temptation for an immediate reward for a later and more fulfilling one.
Delayed gratification forces you to resist smaller things but pleasurable so that you can enjoy a bigger/lasting pleasure in future. ..
This is a skill that a lot of young people lack.
The rush to be seen, known and heard is rubbing off a lot of young folks from shinning.
You can rush and miss the entire thing. Stay to understand and obtain strategies, or better put, greater reward. ..
