The Instant Gratification Sucker Punch

Most of us want instant gratification whether it be with our health, finances, work, food, weight loss, school... Often forgetting and overlooking what instant gratification actually does to us.

Instant gratification is not a learning tool! It provides no skills for the future. It only provides easy access which over time depletes value and creates a dependent spirit and negative attitude. Often leaving us feeling let down or taken advantage of. Which depletes us of much more then what we thought over time.

When we finally wake up from our instant gratification haze and start taking the time to invest in ourselves the right way, we start to grow, our attitudes change for the better and we find value in things all around us. Although it's a longer process, which requires hard work, perseverance and consistency... over time we are built into stronger and healthier individuals in all areas of our lives. Often times far exceeding what instant gratification could have ever given us!

So when you are in a rush to get your reward (whatever that is in your health, work, finances, weight loss, school..), remember it took time to create the current situation you are in and it will take time to undo what is done. You are worth far more then instant gratification will ever give you! So take the time to learn the skills necessary to take care of yourself and your family, and invest in yourself to do things the right way. You wont be disappointed!

Such wishful thinking for mommy of three! There's not even the slightest chance I won't at least get sneezed on or have someone wiping their buggers on my shirt. Hey! That’s life when you have little kids. And expecting to have beautiful tops that don’t look like condors eliminated all over them is everyone woman’s dream, but not necessarily a reality! Oh, and how I’d love to wear beautiful clothing on a regular basis. But for now, I’ll settle for my t-shirts, yoga pants and the occasional dress up moment for a special outing. Fancy clothing will have to wait for this Momma, because I don’t get a lot of time to mess around with being ultra-stylish. When I do stop to try and sort out my outfits, do my hair or brush my teeth… is usually the time my toddler or the 5 yr old start going through my ...
