Instant vs. Delayed Gratification

Our addiction to instant gratification has rendered us dissatisfied, impatient, insatiable, ungrateful, and insecure. The road to true happiness and satisfaction, therefore, is full of delays, roadblocks, and detours. What we often call hindrances are, in actuality, blessings that provide our lives with purpose and meaning. Why do we crave immediate satisfaction? We no longer trust and believe in our dreams, and so we settle for what we can get rather than be open to greater possibilities. It is time to trust again and to believe once more.
