Do You Believe in Deferred Rewards?

 Your belief systems have a great deal to do with your level of success when it comes to goal attainment.  Today is a good day to evaluate how you're doing with the new goals you set for 2022.  If you didn't set any or you already hit an obstacle, consider how deferred rewards can change your outcome.

The greatest challenge with deferred rewards is that you don't get instant gratification.  Discipline is required, sometimes for a great length of time.  As soon as I'm tempted to give up, I immediately go back to my why, the reason why I committed to a goal.  The why is tied to the reward.  You better life is where your deferred rewards are.  You can't get to those rewards if you decide to give up too soon.

If today is your first day fitting in the idea of deferred rewards, pick a goal that will bring you joy when you complete it.  Picture yourself ten pounds lighter, or in a greater state of physical fitness.  Picture what your family looks like when you cultivate new and better habits that enhance their lives.  All of these things are your deferred rewards.  Remember them every time you feel like giving up.  Have a great day.
