We often discuss delayed gratification, which involves postponing reward for a greater benefit in the future.
Similarly, there are negative actions we can take that can result in delayed consequences, such as poor lifestyle choices that can harm our physical health later in life. Bad habits and decisions can also have negative impacts on our future.
As we age, we have less room for error, and making poor choices can lead to feeling trapped or limited. Therefore, it is important to be proactive now and make choices that will benefit our future selves.
Every decision we make, from lifestyle choices to education, has long-term implications. By prioritizing delayed gratification over delayed dissatisfaction or displeasure, we can create a better future for ourselves.
