Wait A Sec

Delaying gratification and reaping the rewards of a cherished idea is a highly advanced skill—essential for achieving elusive dreams—and manifesting magnificent visions requires finely honed expertise.

In reality, this notion depends on the stakes involved in pursuing gratification—whether instant or delayed—take a firm stance, a superposition—why not swing both ways?

If the object of desire is just a fickle whim—enjoy that succulent Madagascar vanilla ice cream for instant gratification—feel the warmth of a sugar glow in your satisfied tummy—the delight of icy treats is gratisfactory indeed.Remember the marshmallow test—it tested the willpower of children, and those able to resist the singular delectable marshmallow in order to receive a more handsome reward 15 minutes later were deemed likely to be more successful has been proven as total bunk.

Apparently, the group of children who resisted temptation and waited longer for the bigger reward did better on standardized tests and were seemingly more emotionally stable with better health outcomes.

Supposedly, the marshmallow test predicted long-term success, but as we can plainly see, the extreme narrowness of the study leaves a lot of gaping holes and doubt.

Whether or not eating the marshmallow quickly could realistically predict any future results seems like a convoluted scheme.

In fact, to eat the marshmallow or not—that is the burning question.Like everything in life, nothing is purely black or white—it depends on the situation and which way the wind happens to be blowing that particular day.

There is no simple solution to the gratification problem, yet the answer can be obtained by experiencing life by following the sun—the reward is the act of creating your unique personal journey into the flow of ΩNE.

The signs of a broken human mental system are those who cannot wait for the next flavor of the day.

They are known as system clones—with plenty of goals but no purpose—flitting from one thing to the next, never seeing one's true self, or to ever believe that they too can choose to follow the sun.

To settle the spirit down, reflect innately into Seity, and you will find that your results start to become profound.One size does not fit all—that's not the way humans are meant to be—as the exquisite Japanese four-character compound leads us to believe—jūnin to iro—十人十色—ten people, ten colors—to each their own.

Scientific studies of this nature are mostly irrelevant, for any well-rounded human being understands that freedom belongs to those who eat the marshmallow whenever they please—using it as fuel to travel through the trials of material life, walking the road less traveled in enlightened dignity.Reframe your brain for a lifestyle masterclass brought to you by Dilbert Sensei—keeping in mind the following themes to use on the road to excellence—recurring themes indeed.

Each neo-clan a spires to a greater purpose than the common ones—keeping in mind that each day reveals a new starting line—maintain environmental stability and aspire to visions that transcend commonality.

Surely, delayed gratification is only one piece of the colossal human existence puzzle.Emotional intelligence, spiritual philosophy, physical resilience and mental fortitude, trust in others, as well as opportunity are all connected to the desired outcome of life which is in fact a phantasmagorical game.

The name of this game is Zoology 101—for all humans are living in a petri dish—a grand experiment, in fact, the very theory of this theme.

Marshmallows aside, the crux of the matter is resilience: to continue and to understand that what happened yesterday and where you came from are in no way indications of who you are or where you are going—as following the sun guides your way.

Delay gratification where necessary, yet eat, drink, and be merry, for the fact remains—no one knows what tomorrow will bring—so save delayed gratification for your massive project that takes decades, dance with the sun and ΩNE, and embrace the day.
