A Brief Explanation: Delayed Gratification

What happens when you resist the urge to be rewarded,

knowing you’ll get a bigger reward later?

When you realize you have the ability to stray from the masses

who easily fall for temptation,

You unlock an extraordinary trait.

When we don’t get what we want,

We lower our expectations.

Depression can manifest.

Imagine being at work

and realizing you misplaced your wallet.

You can assume you forgot it at home,

But there’s no way of knowing.

Most people would become hysterical

And believe it’s gone for good.

They might even leave work to go back and get it.

However,

You can have faith and understand

There’s a possibility it’ll be waiting for you at home.

It’s happened to me occasionally

where I found my wallet lodged between my bed and nightstand.

See the bigger, gratified picture when you wait.
