The Art Of Delayed Gratification & The Self-Dicipline.

Faced with a choice, Wake up now or snooze the alarm; have a healthy meal or order a quick junk food; make a conscious choice to drink a lot of water or leave it to your body to remind; prepare for tomorrow or rush later & so on.We either opt for a thing which gives us quick results/instant gratification, or we have an option, to delay the gratification, a little pain today for more significant pleasures later.And thanks to social media, we all are in love with instant gratification.

Instant Vs Delayed Gratification.

Choosing long-term benefits over short-term pleasure is at the heart of a self-disciplined lifestyle. You’re limiting your immediate pleasure in exchange for an even greater future pleasure. In fact, delayed gratification is another way you can define self-discipline.You suffer now for a specific outcome later, and it requires mental fortitude, pushing your boundaries, and doing more than you thought you could. Whenever you seek to delay gratification, you use self-discipline.

The Importance of  Self-Discipline

A study conducted at Stanford University under psychologist Dr. Mishel in the 1960s explains a lot about why it’s beneficial to delay gratification. In the study, children were placed in a room with one marshmallow on a plate. The lead researcher gave the children an easy instruction: You can eat the marshmallow now, or wait 15 minutes and receive two marshmallows. The researchers found that the children who were able to wait for the second marshmallow without eating the first one scored higher in SATS exams, had better health, and were less likely to have behaviour problems.

The Marshmallow Experiment

“The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term, is the indispensable prerequisite for success.”﻿"Discipline can seem like your worst enemy. But the reality is: discipline is your best friend."

The Stanford Marshmallow Experiment and the data collected following it prove that being able to delay gratification is a crucial life skill in order to be successful.

The Science of Self-Discipline

If you want to draw energy for life from somewhere, choose passion and, most importantly, do not consider it as another activity that you will be doing, but as a rest from everyday life filled with duties.

How to find a passion? 

Passion does not tire. You can stay awake, and if you do this, you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to her. Think about what you like to do, what you might be doing until you are out of breath all day long. Passion is something that may seem trivial at first glance. It grows with you. Even a tiny little thing that you care for can become a goal in your life.

What's not bothering you doing?

The most important thing in finding it is having ambition, motivation, and the will to act. Their lack will prevent you from discovering the passion dormant in every human being.

How to discover passion?

Think if there is anyone or anything that inspires you. Try to do what someone else does. Do not explain to yourself that you are not suitable for this. In passion, it is essential to interact with it and not to compare it to the skills or achievements of others. It is your passion, even if it has the same name as your neighbors. Remember that when discovering it within you. You can do it by trial and error.

What or who inspires you?

As a kid, we did many different things. Some we were allowed to do, others we were rebuked or not allowed to. Maybe you are now able to develop any of your childhood interests and turn them into a passion? Indeed there was something in your childhood that gave you satisfaction. Now you can implement it into adult reality, frame it with maturity and experience, and enjoy it like a child, being an adult. This is how passion affects a person.

Small Steps

If you have something you need done, make sure that it is easy to do in comparison to other things. Such as simply making the items you want to do more accessable than the things that get in the way.

“All of our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.”

Disney was truly a dreamer as he came from humble beginnings in Chicago, rising to become one of the world’s most famous Americans. The power and promise of dreaming is evident, not only throughout Walt Disney’s life, but long after his death in 1966. In his quotation, Disney mentions courage as an integral precursor to bringing dreams to fruition - "if you have the guts to go after what you want, you can make your dreams happen." The incredible, depth, breadth, and reach into the future of Walt Disney’s dreams are true testaments to what can happen if you pursue your dreams. #WaltDisney

“So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then, they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.”

The above quote of Reeve’s carries a powerful message to all who dare to dream. Reeve points out that when a dream first enters your mind, it might seem ludicrous to even think it could come to pass. Later, down the road, it seems not likely that it could ever happen. Ultimately, though, if you determine by your own personal choice that you will make your dream happen, you’ll see your end result is “inevitable.” #ChristopherReeve

Christopher Reeve - Make Your Dream Inevitable

<ol><li>Allow an outlet for your dreams. Find ways to express your dreams.</li><li>Even if you believe your dreams are impossible, continue ahead.</li><li>Decide to pursue your dream. Make a conscious decision to begin doing small things that relate to what you want in life. </li><li>Act on your ideas.</li><li>Set up mini-goals and celebrate when you achieve them.</li></ol>ACTION TIME:Keep your dream alive! Make a list of activities that you could do each day to support your dream, such as drawing, journaling, and more that relate to your dream.

DARE TO DREAM - Recap

“Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.”

When it comes to striving for success, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. There are many people who’ve made their marks on the world through achieving incredible success in their work. You can follow in their footsteps and achieve your own success!  Develop your own winning ways when you discover your passion, have faith, take responsibility, and think positive. Your chances of being successful are vastly increased when you’re passionate about what you’re doing.

David Frost: Discover Your Passion

Once you discover your passion, keep doing it to achieve success.For example:●     If you loved to work on cars as a teen, figure out a way to continue your mechanical pursuits and get paid for them as an adult.●     If you’re passionate about baking cookies and cakes, bake plenty of these pastries and sell them. You see, when you do what you love, you’ll enjoy the time you spend doing it. Journal Time:What do you enjoy most?--------How can you monetize it? --------Whatever plans you make for turning what you love into your work, take action toward making it a reality.

How to Apply David Frost’s Tip to Your Life!

“Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

Steve talks about how you can’t know everything when you first set out to do something. Jobs believed one just has to have faith that in the scheme of life, what he does will eventually have an impact. When you have that faith, you’ll continue your journey, doing what you have faith in. It’s only later, down the road, when you can look back and see the impact of your work.

Steve Jobs: Have Faith

Even though you may not have a complete sense of how what you want to do will fit in to the big scheme of things, if you truly feel it’s what you should be doing or that it’s the right thing to do, then just follow through with your pursuits. Have faith that you’re supposed to be doing what you’ve chosen.Regardless of whether you believe in destiny or prefer to listen to your gut: what does your internal “trust-meter” tell you to do?  If you continue in the pursuits you have faith in, you won’t be disappointed. One Last Line, Faith is necessary if you can’t see the path to completion.

How to Apply Steve Jobs’ Tip to Your Life

“I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.”

Winfrey brings home the importance of taking control of your own life. She viewed her personal sense of responsibility as the key to “making good.” Regardless of your background, you can be successful if you take responsibility for your own future.

Oprah Winfrey: Take Responsibility

Circumstances don’t control your future. Refuse to allow your personal situation to color your sense of who you truly are or what you can accomplish.Your success doesn’t depend on luck, where you live, or whether you’re rich or poor. It does depend, however, on how you step up to take responsibility for yourself. Avoid blaming others, making excuses, or just wishing things will get better. ACTION TIME:●     Make a list of the excuses you tell yourself to justify not taking action toward your goals. ●     Now, imagine yourself as a highly responsible person that would never rely on excuses.

“Action is the foundational key to all success.” ~Pablo Picasso

Even when people didn’t seem interested in his art, Picasso just kept painting, sculpting and creating, no matter what.  He put into practice what he believed: if a person takes action, he’ll succeed. The essence of Picasso’s quote is, “do something” to make success happen. You must do something related to your goals if you want to achieve them.●     Focus less on the details.●     Don’t be concerned about doing something wrong.●     Just get started.●     Continue to do whatever it is you’ve chosen and the actions you take will lead you to success.

Pablo Picasso: Take Action

For your big goals, divide them into small, achievable steps that will lead you ever forward until you’ve accomplished your biggest desires. It’s much easier to take action when you only have a small mini-goal to work on. However, achieving these small goals one by one will bring great success.For example, if you have a goal to lose 30 pounds, you can do this in 30 weeks by losing a pound a week. Each week, focus only on losing 1 pound. This is a goal you can achieve.ACTION TIME: 1.   Important Goal > Mini Goals 2. Mini Goals > Even shorter Steps 3.   Take your first step today.

“Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.” ~Dale Carnegie

Carnegie stressed that you must experience discouragement and failure in your life in order to find success.He believed that through examining your experiences of failures, you can gain the knowledge that will propel you to success. Instead of fearing failures and trying to avoid thinking about how you failed at something, look closely at your mistakes.

Dale Carnegie: Embrace Your Failures

<ol><li>Ask yourself why something didn’t work.</li><li>Come up with a new strategy.</li><li>Try out your new idea right away. </li><li>Repeat this process if your new idea doesn’t work.</li><li>Above all, remember that the only way you can really fail is to give up.</li></ol> ACTION TIME: ●     Take a look at your three biggest failures in pursuing your goals.●     Ask yourself why they happened.●     Determine what likely would have been a more effective approach.●     Is it desirable or possible for you to resume pursuing these goals with a new approach?

How to Apply Dale Carnegie’s Tip to Your Life!

“The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.” ~Ayn Rand

Ayn's description of success being a ladder is apt because, in order to be successful, one must notice and take advantage of many opportunities throughout life.Her quote illustrates that each opportunity leads to another step up to the next opportunity. Rand’s quote implies it’s rare to go from nothing to success in one step. Instead, you’re led to succeed through the opportunities you notice and take advantage of. It’s best not to expect success to come all at once with little time or effort.

Ayn Rand: Recognize Opportunity

<ul><li>Think of success as something you can achieve step by step.</li><li>Each step or “rung” is an opportunity.</li><li>In order to benefit the most, keep your eyes open to whatever opportunities come your way.</li><li>The more opportunities you recognize and utilize, the more likely it is you’ll be successful.</li></ul> Open your mind to the possibilities - Make a list of opportunities you have available to you right now. Consider all facets of your life. What can you do to take full advantage of them? -------------------------------

“It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.” ~Warren Buffett

Selecting successful people to fraternize with provides you with wonderful role models, free education, and information about how those people excel.As you spend time with them, you’ll tend to copy their behaviors, become more motivated, and achieve your own success. Known for his common sense approach to investing and managing money, Buffett has applied this same mantra when finding mentors to emulate.

Warren Buffett: Find Mentors Whom You Can Emulate

Spending time with people who have more knowledge, business savvy, expertise, and even creativity can rub off on you. When you choose to spend time with people you want to be like, you’re provided with a treasure trove of information about how those peers work and achieve their goals.Seek and find at least one mentor in your professional field. ACTION TIME: ●     Choose one goal you’d like to work on and find an appropriate mentor.●     Approach that person and ask them to mentor you.●     Keep going until you find a mentor you respect and trust that’s willing to work with you.

How to Apply Warren Buffett’s Tip to Your Life!

“If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” ~Michael Jordan

Jordan reminds us that when we’re working toward accomplishing goals, we’ll run in to obstacles. It’s necessary to expect them on your road to success.However, these obstacles must not deter you. Instead, confront your challenges, figure out how to resolve the issues, and then fix them. From the choice of wording, it’s clear that Jordan believes if a person is creative enough, he can rise above any obstacle that appears before him.Basically, Jordan tells us to expect troublesome situations and “figure out” solutions to those roadblocks in order to be successful.

Michael Jordan: Confront and Resolve Obstacles

It’s always wise to be prepared. Recognize that it’s normal to experience bumps in the road on your way to a better life. ●     Put on your thinking cap and brainstorm ways to get past your challenge.●     Talk to your friends.●     Seek advice from your mentor.●     Try anything and everything to solve your dilemma.  ACTION TIME:●     Choose a current challenge you’re facing.●     Brainstorm several possible solutions to work around that obstacle.●     Put your plan into action.

“Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.” ~Zig Ziglar

Ziglar makes the point that success is less connected to receiving something than it is with doing something — taking action to get what you want.You must put forth some effort to succeed. But it’s not necessary to win every race in order to ultimately achieve your goals. Reach within to discover the best of what you have to give while you’re reaching for the stars.Ziglar believes if you do this, you have arrived — you are successful.

Zig Ziglar: Enjoy the Journey

Achieving success is a journey. No matter where you are or what you have, you can start your road to success from there. Taking action to do whatever it is you’ve chosen and putting forth your greatest efforts will move you further in that journey. The more you try, the more likely you are to achieve your dream. ACTION TIME:Which of your goals requires more effort to ensure your success?------------------------------------ Determine an action you should be doing more of to reach this goal and double your efforts.

How to Apply Zig Ziglar’s Tip to Your Life!

Discovering your passion,having faith,taking responsibility for your own life,and thinking positive will help you begin your journey toward success.  Finding mentors, confrontingand resolving obstacles,and realizing you’re on a journey will all aid you in your quest for success.  Achieving success is within your reach!

"You're The ONLY One STOPPING You!" - Issa Rae (@IssaRae) - Top 10 Rules

In order to think up new and exciting projects, Burrill lets his mind and his body wander in the world. A walk in a new neighbourhood or a weekend trip can give you a different outlook on your surroundings. “I’m constantly looking out for examples of interesting typefaces and graphic images”, says Burrill, “seeing new things helps to spark off new ideas.”

1.     Change your daily routine and look at the world through fresh eyes

When Burrill was young, he used to collect keepsakes from his family travels in scrapbooks – leaflets from museums; tickets for plays, art galleries, and historic sites; receipts from restaurants; photos of everyday landscapes and road signs. Over time he built up a collection of ephemera that continue to inspire his work. Burrill believes that “soaking up new influences is an important part of forming your creative DNA”.

2.     Document everything, take photographs, collect things and keep mementos

When Burrill began his career as an artist, he couldn’t afford a computer, so he had to find new and inventive ways to make things. “It’s much better to use what you have around you then to spend lots of money producing something” says Burrill, “it’s about being clever with what you have and seeing the benefits in the restrictions you have.” It may seem counterintuitive, but limiting yourself may give your creativity more room to flourish.

3.     Be resourceful

While social media is a great way to show off your work, it’s not the best way to stay focused and avoid distraction. Burrill checks his email just three times a day during planned, short answering sessions. This way, he stops his online activity from ruling his day, avoids procrastination and keeps his concentration. Shutting your phone off for the majority of the working day can prevent you from wasting time and help you be more creative.

4.     Keep your phone at arm’s length

After leaving art school, this became Burrill’s mantra – and still is. “Sometimes opportunities come along disguised as something else, you need to learn to look beyond the obvious”, he says. A positive attitude and openness to new projects could lead you to your next creative project.

5.     Say ‘yes’ more than ‘no’

Anthony Burrill has been exhibiting his work in galleries across the world for over 15 years, finding inspiration in the most unlikely of places. I read his book Make it Now! to discover how I too could unleash my creativity. Follow these top tips to do the same.
