PRACTICING DELAYED GRATIFICATION

Delayed gratification means you will not have instant pleasure at the moment. It means you will sacrifice a little bit for the bigger picture.

Practicing delayed gratification will make you a better person. Your will power will become more powerful. Once you see an opportunity that will make you temporary happy but you know in the end will give you misery... don't grab it. Just do what is necessary, do something that will put your life on a better position in the future and not what will amuse you for a very short time now.

If you're making your body slimmer... don't eat a piece of cake in your refrigerator. Don't even look at it, throw it if you can. Eat the healthier foods... that is how you practice delayed gratification. It is hard to resist temptation but once you were able to ignore the things that will make life more difficult for you... the change in your life will happen.

If you want to have a different life, you must be willing to sacrifice a lot. That's how you do it. It is hard, you must be consistent, you must be good in ignoring temptations. Delaying gratification is like building a muscle, the more you do it the more you become stronger, you will be in full control of your life. You can out muscle any problem, you can over power any challenges in life.

That is the difference between a successful person and a failure. A failure never practice delayed gratification, he always bite the temptation that is presented to him. He always spend his money for useless things, when he saw something in the mall that has a discount... he will buy it. When someone invited him to the party... he will go without hesitation even if he has some more important things to do.

Don't be scared to practice delayed gratification, do what is needed first and get the rewards later. Study hard, don't eat a lot of junk foods, keep your money, stop watching too much TV and work more.

Once you see a temptation... forget it right away and focus on the better things that is waiting for you. Always think about the best things that may happen once you delay the gratification.
