Postponing pleasure for success

Instant gratification is a term that refers to the temptation to sacrifice future benefits for the immediate benefit of a lesser present.

We know that restraining lust is the most important weakness in humans, we want something more now than later even though it is much bigger, this is a natural instinct in humans.

The problem is if not trained and managed properly, instant gratification can have a very detrimental impact, in some psychological studies it is stated, if individuals who seek instant gratification are at high risk of substance abuse, drugs, obesity, sexual and mental problems.

They will also find it more difficult to regulate emotions and suffer from excruciating mood dysfunction, but that is indeed our weak point, no wonder we live and are so maniacal towards instant platforms and solutions, from social media timelines that offer instant gratification and over-stimulation of information. , entertainment, sexual gratification, to business scams to get rich instantly.

In a wider scope, instant gratification and solutions have the potential to even disrupt civilization.

Presenting facilities or giving instant gifts, without educating patience, without teaching what is trying, without encouraging them to always appreciate the process, will only plunge them into an instant mentality, such as offering a way to reach the top without having to climb, this will certainly be very detrimental, especially for the future.

This also applies to ourselves, providing instant gratification that is easier for us to get today without ever practicing patience, without trying to hold back, without wanting to work hard, it will only harm ourselves.

So in the end it's all about self-control.
