Grasping the Moment

“Anytime you have something, or somebody, or some job or some place or some opportunity that you don’t value, you will always lose it…You will always lose what you don’t value.

Whatever you value will come to you, what you don’t value, you will lose.

How many people…know what it is to grieve over the fact that you lost something that you now know the value of, but didn’t appreciate in the moment…

So if you want to change your choices, you have to change what you value…which means you have to have delayed gratification.

We are wrestling between temporary discomfort and long-term benefit. Never make a permanent decision over a temporary condition… You’re right on the cusp of something, and your values are going to make a difference…if you value something, you will wait for it.

You will suffer for it.

you will endure for it.

You will sacrifice for it.

You will know that the long-term benefit outweighs the immediate gratification. ”
