We, humans, struggle with deferred gratification. It's a trade war. Trading what we have today, or some portion of what we have, for some far off benefit is a delicate balancing act. The successful among us are willing to make that sacrifice and it works out well. Those who are unwilling risk failure in the later years.
I feel good about the sacrifices I'm making today. I find great joy living within my means. Deferred gratification doesn't mean you also have to give up all the joys that are in the present moment. It simply means you call a truce in your own personal trade war and find the right balance with your daily actions. Small wins lead to great victories. The first step is to become aware of how you are using your resources. Have a great day.
