Be Patient

Amazingly few people are willing to be patient. However, putting off gratification until later in order to obtain larger rewards than those immediately available is essential to achieve true success.

Patience does not mean catering to unnecessary delays which are really screens for procrastination, resignation, or dependency. Taking more time merely to avoid commitment is not a way to achieve success. However, most of us will recognize the difference between a rationalization like, "I need more time," and the precept that achieving solid, lasting results requires time.

If we put off doing a thing and find ourselves going nowhere, we are sabotaging ourselves. If we put off doing it but find that, with struggle and effort, we are slowly progressing toward the desired goal, we can congratulate ourselves on having demonstrated a true willingness to postpone gratification; an enormous asset and an indispensable element in self-realization and success.

Training and development of any kind takes time. An inability to wait virtually guarantees that our rewards will be small. Rewards are generally proportional to the ability to endure necessary waiting. To become a surgeon, lawyer, diplomat, or professional salesperson takes time and dedication. While working toward the goal, little or nothing is earned, and recognition for work done and energy output is minimal. The rewards come later. And, of course, if patience results in work that is interesting, gratifying, and rewarding in all regards, the postponement of gratification will have led to a situation likely to generate meaningful successes.
