We identified INSTANT GRATIFICATION as a major problem of our age. The solution is what great men call the virtue of DELAYED GRATIFICATION. I prefer to call it the SEED-TIME-HARVEST paradigm.
I have read many biographies, watched countless hours of interviews & read many books of great men & women. One of the most consistent trait of these people is their ability to Delay Gratification!
Delaying Gratification is just the ability to WAIT to BE, HAVE and DO what you desire. It is the ability to go through the required PROCESSES to attain whatever results you require. Imagine a new born baby that wants to eat bones. Imagine a 12 year old that wants to own a Range Rover. Imagine a fresh graduate that wants to be the CEO at MTN. Imagine a farmer wanting to harvest after just putting the seed in the ground a few minutes before...the list is endless. There's absolutely nothing wrong with their desires but they've forgotten the Seed-Time-Harvest cycle. Time is the key ingredient. My dear friends, we must learn to WAIT! There's nothing bad in going through the PROCESS to greatness.
Whatever comes to you without the proper process of time will exit your life in no time. You may love to play the guitar. But if you don't go through the process of learning to play the guitar you'd just be an accomplished noise maker at best. Even your TALENTS don't become SKILLS till it has been worked on with TIME! In the corporate world we have what we call DUE PROCESS. Whatever doesn't follow due process will end up being problematic in the end.
Don't be deceived by the lure to become an instant millionaire. There is no such thing! Jim Rohn the American Billionaire was once called an overnight success and he said that "overnight" took him 30night-years!
We'd conclude dis 2moro with more examples.
God bless you. Do have a productive day({})
