I love things that give me an "Instant Gratification" moment:
-cleaning
-reading a book
-a good work out
-ordering food to go. Um, you know after a good workout....:-)
-a to do list that has everything checked off
-when I post on FB/Twitter/Instagram and *Boom*someone "likes" or retweets.
Ok, well you get the point. I have never been a very patient person. I like things done. When I think they should be done. This can be an annoying personality trait, both for my friends and family and for myself.
I understand that most things in my life that give me joy are things that also do not give me instant gratification.
-my family
-my education
-my marriage
-my church
-my friends
All of these things take work and lots of time!!!
Perspective: This is where perspective can be a wonderful gift. It really is all how you view situations. If you take a step back and notice the good, the accomplishments, the joy in situations it can give you the peace that you need. The peace is much better than the rush of instant gratification!!!
