Delayed Gratification Begins in Childhood
By Dr. Denis Waitley
To attain emotional maturity, each of us must learn to develop two critical capacities: the ability to live with uncertainty and the ability to delay immediate gratification in favor of long-range goals.
Adolescence is a time of maximum resistance to further growth. It is a time characterized by the teenager's ingenious efforts to maintain the privileges of childhood, while at the same time demanding the rights of adulthood. It is a point beyond which most human beings do not pass emotionally. The more we do for our children the less they can do for themselves. The dependent child of today is destined to become the dependent parent of tomorrow.

On this day of your life, Neytiri & Jake, I believe God wants you to know...
...that you can change what you see. You don't have
to be trapped by it.
Nothing has to remain the way it is, and nothing is
the way it is forever unless and until you say so.
You really are in charge of your day-to-day
experience. Really.

Holding Onto Happiness
|
| |
As much as we may
know that we are responsible for our own happiness, holding onto it can be
quite a challenge.
One of the ways we can create more stability is to not to allow external circumstances to affect our state of mind. Do not get upset with people or situations. Both are powerless without your reaction. |
