DELAYED GRATIFICATION - THE PRICE TAG FOR SUCCESS
Building strength in the long haul requires short term discomfort.
We are programmed for instant gratification. We want it all and we want it now.
When you learn the skill of enjoying delayed gratification you step into emotional adulthood.
When you allow urges (strong desires to escape the present moment) to be there without acting on them, you become the captain of your life.
You make decisions with your smart part of the brain, your prefrontal cortex, ahead of time instead of following your primitive brain's desire.
Planning how you will show up, rather than letting your body control you.
