365 Days With Self-Discipline 365 Life-Altering Thoughts on Self-Control, Mental Resilience, and Success by Martin Meadows (z-lib.org).epub

—Epictetus

 

87

When  you  delay  gratification,  it’s  tempting  to  think  about  it  in  black

and  white:  delaying  gratification  means  no  pleasure  now  in  exchange  for

pleasure  in  the  future.  Succumbing  to  instant  gratification  means  some

pleasure  now  at  the  expense  of  your  future.  In  reality,  things  aren’t  that

simple.

As  Epictetus  says,  there’s  pleasure  to  be  found  in  abstaining.  When

you successfully deny yourself something, even if you feel deprived of it, at

the  same  time  you’ll  feel  proud  of  acting  in  accordance  with  your  values

and long-term goals.

And what might surprise you is that there’s some pain found in instant

gratification. Yes, you get to enjoy the reward right now, but this also means

that  you’re  betraying  your  future  self.  You’re  missing  out  on  the  positive

feelings  you  could  have  gotten  by  successfully  exerting  willpower  and  in

the  end,  the  anger  you  feel  at  yourself  might  not  be  worth  the  initial

pleasure.
