Growing up I was taught to question whether something was a want or a need, and if it wasn't a need I was encouraged to wait a day and see if it was still a want. A little thing but it's stuck with me and I think it works really well!

My take home message [6:22 minute mark] "by delaying instant gratification we become masters of our desires rather than slaves to our impulses".

[cedrickdroui]

Delayed gratification has been my mantra for years, and it's remarkable how it's propelled me toward my goals. Patience is key!

[TMoz]

I am a firm believer in this practice because it's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Now in my 40s I am starting to peak in life and I'm smashing all my goals. I'm a better man, father, spouse and business owner because of this 🙏🏾

One of my fondest memories was finding my daughter sitting next to the newly planted strawberry bushes. When asked what she was doing she replied "Waiting for the strawberries". Lesson number one in delayed gratification.

I think the 3 steps are straightforward and actionable! Makes sense that defining your goals, making a plan and actively working towards them makes them achievable.

[jessiedallen]

I agree with the benefits of delayed gratification, but sometimes you need that immediate reward to pull you out of a dark place

I’m ready to take on the world after this.
