Here is today’s Game and what’s going on.
Here is what I discovered today in our Dadly Daily Declaration reading from The Perfect Day Formula by Craig Ballantyne.
The title of today’s reading is “The 4th Pillar: An Incentive, or Treat Yourself to Big Victories.” Let’s jump in with a few highlights first:
- The ability to delay gratification is not something that you must be born with, but it’s a powerful habit you can build. Of course, it’s not easy. We want it all. And we want it now. We are tempted to spend our paychecks as soon as we get them—or even before. As a result, we sacrifice future success for immediate pleasure. But that’s not how it works if you want to be successful. Work comes first. Then reward. It’s not the other way around.
- No matter where you’ve stood in the past on this success equation, you can change. We can all learn to get up earlier, make exercise a daily habit, and improve our diet through the habit of delayed gratification.
- Like starting a new exercise program, it’s going to be hard at first, but you will come to appreciate your new power of habit. The benefits are well worth it. You must look at the work and the struggles as blessings. Practice (i.e. training) is the only way you can build up your delayed gratification muscle and earn the rewards.
Those gems lead us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
Mastery takes time. But mastery is worth the effort.
Take action. Struggle. Fight. Flex. And work.
Keep your eye on the prize. You can do it.
