Personal
Fulfillment through Delayed Gratification
Delayed gratification, is the ability to resist
the temptation for an immediate reward and wait for a later reward
It’s one of
those lifetime moments
When you have a natural ecstatic moment
Given by the essence of “being”
and "persevering"
It is
healing to the mind, body, soul and spirit
To finally
have that moment of personal achievement
Sometimes, days,
months, years gone by
The denial
of some things that are too good to reject
But you had
a vision of something more rewarding
For this one
particular life achievement or moment
Personal sacrifices
to the hilt, have been made
Waiting
with patience and due diligence
And finally
“the moment” has arrived
All the hard work, disappointments, is it worth
it moments? fatigue, depression,
good days, bad days, really bad days, missing
out on wonderful occasions
Have
finally paid off
And sometimes
magically and surprisingly, not in the way that you expected
While being
able to recognize that a blessing is a gift from God
And often,
it is better than what was expected
Oh, the
experiences that came along with it
The lessons learned along the way
Coming face
to face with extreme temptation
Yet, staying
focused
Not
listening to the naysayers
But holding
onto the faith
Knowing
that the fulfillment of each delayed gratification moment
Is a higher
rung
Leading to self-fulfillment
and/or self-realization
