Delaying Gratification and the Time Paradox
If you know me or have read some of my past writing, you will know I advocate living in the now or in the moment.
The ability to be fully aware of your surroundings and what is happening in your mind is very important to your well being. It promotes relaxation, mental focus and increases your ability to connect with others.
It has been found that the ability to delay gratification, as opposed to succumbing to instant gratification, directly correlates with success, intelligence and general health.
Marshmallow Experiments
In an experiment, children were offered one marshmallow, but if they could wait for a certain time period before eating it, they would be granted two.
The children who immediately ate the marshmallow, and the others who delayed gratification, were tracked as they grew up. The remarkable results show a very strong, direct correlation with higher test scores, good behavior and overall success in the children who delayed gratification in order to receive two marshmallows.
Continuing this idea of time orientation, here is a video that explains how to leverage it for an all around better life.
Application
The idea is to cherish the positive memories, learn from your failures, enjoy the pleasures of the present moment, and make decisions based on your goals for the future.
Appreciate your roots. Learn from the past. Enjoy the moment. Walk the path to your dreams.
