Gratification

“The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term is the indispensable pre-requisite for success”
Brian Tracy

Are you able to delay gratification for long. We live in a society with very short attention span. We feel we should have whatever we want, and that we should have it now. "Other people have it now, why can't I?". We go to fast food restaurants because we are unwilling to wait for an hour or so for our food to be cooked. Sometimes we only grab a coffee and doughnut from the convenience store because we can't even spend 10 minutes getting breakfast at home. We just aren't willing to wait.

One of the things that we all want to teach our children as soon as possible is that you can't have everything you want right now. Yet, as adults, we find ourselves falling into the same trap.
True success takes time and discipline. If we can just wait a little while, the rewards will definately be worth the wait. Practice self discipline and patience. Don't expect everything to come immediately. If you're willing to wait, you'll get more than you planned for.
