It can be tempting to give up on a goal because we are not achieving it fast enough. We ask ourselves if what we’re giving up today, a mere baby step on the way to the prize, is really worth it. When those moments hit, look in the mirror and say:
That makes perfect sense! I hope I can remember that tonight when I am sitting in my recliner and think about how yummy a bowl of ice cream would taste.
Ain’t that the truth?? Something I fight as I mentally grumble about the traffic light with the audacity to take a full minute to change and the computer that is not starting up as quickly as I would like. I try to quickly replace those urges with gratitude for the protection of traffic lights and the blessing of all to ability of a computer at our fingertips!
Perfect quote for me today!! Thank you 🙂
Glad we connected, Pauline!

Instant gratification…our society is addicted to it.

This is exactly the reminder I needed today!
Glad it hit home, Marylin – it’s something I have to tell myself often! -El
