Don’t Settle for Sooner

“Don’t Settle for Sooner. 

What does that mean?

Human beings are naturally impatient. 

We want what we want now, even if it isn’t as good as what we could have later.

We settle for short-term feelings and elation instead of putting in the time, effort, and patience to see better, long-term rewards. 

Don’t settle for sooner; put in the work necessary to obtain long-term, sustaining benefits. 

There have been several experiments done that show even as children we are more likely to take the cookie in front of us than wait for someone to bring us something better.

We need to get better at thinking long-term and having the self-control necessary to say no to something good now for something great later.
