Steer from Instant Gratification

Image
                                                      Photo by Elijah Pilchard The world moves at a fast pace and the allure of instant gratification reflects every aspect of our lives. This can be seen from the convenience of fast-food delivery to the quick access to endless information and data on our electronic devices. So the desire for instant results often overshadows the long-term benefits of patience and delayed gratification.

Instant gratification goes along the lines of instant pleasure or satisfaction gained from acquiring something of value or fulfilling a desire promptly, often without even considering the long-term implications. While this can offer immediate pleasure, it frequently comes at the cost of sacrificing deeper...

                                                Photo by Cottonbro studio "I've always viewed bragging as a major defect of character. The more powerful a person truly is, the less they need to promote it. And the stronger a leader is, the less they need to announce it." Above quote taken from the book The 5am Club , page 81 by author Robin Sharma .  This idea is simple to understand but yet is so powerful in words.

              Photo by F. Plastino    "Don't worry that your kids don't listen to you, worry that they are always watching you" Unknown quote This brings to light the profound impact parents have on their children through their actions and behaviors. What is suggested is that parental influence can extend well beyond verbal communication; children learn by monitoring their parents' attitudes, choices, and interactions with others. For one thing this highlights the significance of parental role modeling. Parents can become primary examples for their children, shaping their values, beliefs, and social behaviors. So it is crucial that parents be mindful of the behaviours they exhibit, instead of focusing on the advice they give to their children.  Another point underscores the idea that children are constantly absorbing information from their surroundings, especially from their parents. Parental actions serve as a blueprint for their childr...

                            Photo by F. Plastino  "It's not about proving others wrong, it is about proving yourself right" Unknown source Quote The above quote emphasizes the importance of believing in yourself and self-validation. Instead of looking for validation from external sources or trying to prove other people wrong, the focus is on believing in your abilities and convictions.

Plastino  "When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor"                         Elon Musk What can be entertained by this quote is that even odds suggest a balanced probability of success and failure. There are situations where the potential outcome is significant or the effort required is reasonable, which makes taking the chance to be worthwhile. We should be encouraged to take risks, embrace opportunities, and learn from both successes and failures. The experience we gain from trying, even when the odds are uncertain, can lead to valuable lessons and personal growth, making it a more compelling reason to go ahead and take the leap....

Must the Earth tilt on its axis, be hit by a meteor, swallow its continents whole, before its people will listen? Must we be visited by beings from outer space and scared out of our minds before having sufficient sight to realize that we are all One? Is it required that we all face the threat of death before we can be galvanized to find a new way to live?" Above quote taken from the book Conversations with God , page 235 by the author Neale Donald Walsch   Humans often wait for disasters before changing their ways because when a crises does happen it makes the consequences of their actions immed...
