Delayed gratification is something we all must embrace; the sooner we learn, the better. There are no shortcuts to success, and a lot of times the results that come from the effort we put in do not manifest until much later.
We must also expect delayed gratification from others. We often find ourselves doing things for others that may go unnoticed or unappreciated at the time. That’s okay. It may take time for them to fully understand and appreciate what you do/did for them. And even if they never fully understand or appreciate what you do, the final results from your actions can still bring you gratification.
Remember, patience and perseverance often lead to the most rewarding outcomes.
