Welcome to today's episode of the Mindset Mentor podcast. If you have not yet done so, hit that subscribe button so that you never miss another episode of this podcast. And last but not least, if you're listening to this on the day that this comes out, which is December 31st, 2019, today is the very last day of 2019. Can you believe it? We're about to enter a new decade. It's about to be 2020. That is insane. And I wanted to make a really quick episode for you to talk about indulging tonight and indulging just in general in your life. So, you know, if you're listening to this,

you know, in January, February, whatever it happens to be, this is still extremely, extremely relevant because one thing that I think people really need to become aware of is delayed gratification versus instant gratification. We live in a world now of instant gratification. Whatever you want, you can get. I can get something delivered to my door and it's going to be here in two days if I go through Amazon. If I don't want to leave my place and I want someone to deliver food, I can get Uber Eats to deliver it to me. If I want groceries delivered to my house, I can get Instacart to have it sent to me. There's so many different ways to get whatever it is that I want. And I, myself, you, everyone listening,

we are so used to getting whatever we want right away now. But that is not what life is about. Life is not about, the best things in life don't come right away. The best things in life take time. They take delayed gratification. And the reason why I'm talking about this is because if you're listening to this on December 31st, 2019, the day that this comes out, what happens tonight? Everyone's celebrating the new year. And what happens? People overindulge. And there's a lot of, this is what normally happens. A lot of people are so excited to go and get their New Year's resolutions and to go January 1st. I'm going to kick January 1st ass. That's what I'm going to do.

I'm going to do really well. And then they go out on December 31st and what do they do? They drink too much. They party too much. And they wake up on January 1st, the new year, the new day to the new year, which this happens to be the new day to the new year to the new decade. And they wake up hungover because they drank flavored toxin aka alcohol when you go on holiday there is no finer achievement than doing absolutely nothing nothing on the beach nothing by the pool walking kind of nowhere and chatting about nothing as an expedia member you can save up 30% when you add a hotel to your flight. So you can have a bit more money to go out there with great ambition to do absolutely nothing.

Expedia, made to travel. Which they had too much, they overindulged because they wanted to have a good time. I'm not saying don't have a good time. Please understand that. What I'm saying is be very aware of the things that you do that are instantly gratifying. The delayed gratification is where the best things in life are. A relationship doesn't just instantly happen with the person that you love. It takes time to grow into something, right? A business takes time to grow.

You don't just, you know, from day one hit the ground running and have a massively successful business, right? Becoming a great parent to a great child, it takes time to raise that child to be a great person. Everything takes time. Everything takes time, but that's not what we're trained nowadays. We're trained that if I don't know how far something is from one place to another place, I can look it up on Google. If I want to see how many, you know, we were at the hard rock stadium today for a football game. If I want to see how many people that place can hold,

I can instantly find it out right now. I can literally just say, hey Siri, how many people are in hard rock? How many seats are in hard rock stadium? And she'd say, oh, whatever. It's 93,414. That was never a thing back in the day. We are so used to being instantly gratified, but the life that you want doesn't come from instant gratification. The body that you want doesn't come from instant gratification. It takes time to build that. All too often in our society nowadays, and you know, I'm talking about the body that you want. I always hear Joe Rogan talk about the issue with people in losing weight or getting the body that they want is that they're too obsessed with mouth pleasure. And mouth pleasure means what they would rather do

is they would rather eat something that tastes good versus eat something that's actually nutritious and fuel for their body. That's a perfect example. So for you, what I want you to think about is this. Where in your life are you not delaying your gratification that you need to be? Where in your life are you going for that instant gratification right away and you're trying to be instantly gratified and it's holding you back? Because going into this year, this 2020, if you're going to want to have it become the year that you want it to become, then what you are going to need to do is you're going to have to have it become the year that you want it to become, then what you are going to need to do is you're going to have to delay some gratification. You're going

to have to have some sleepless nights. You're going to have to put in some work. You might have to wake up earlier. You might have to, in order to get the body that you want, you might have to not eat that pizza that you really want, not have that mouth pleasure that you really want, and delay that gratification. And the delayed gratification is when you look in the mirror three months down the road and you go, hell yeah, I built this mother effer because I decided to delay the gratification versus just going for mouth pleasure. Hell yeah, I built this relationship because we've been through the struggles and we worked on it. We worked through this damn thing. I know there's people out there that have been married for 10,

15, 20 years and you're like, yeah, and we have a great marriage because we freaking worked on it. We worked through this damn thing. I know there's people out there that have been married for 10, 15, 20 years. And you're like, yeah. And we have a great marriage because we freaking worked at it. I know there's people out there that you have some children that they were all off the walls, but now they're incredible children. They're, you know, they might be grown up 20, 25, 30 years old. And you're like, yeah, because I freaking worked my ass off as a parent to make them great. They weren't born that way. You know, they might've needed a little bit of help of how to fit into society, but they're incredible people the way that they are. Everything great requires time. So if you go out tonight, if you're listening to this on December 31st,

I'm not saying don't have fun. Have a hell of a time, everybody. But if you wanted to wake up early and you wanted to not drink or you wanted to go to the gym early in the morning before you have to go to work, maybe what you should do is chill it out a little bit. Maybe what you should do instead of drinking 10 drinks, have one, go to bed at a reasonable time, and then wake up and start kicking 2020's ass. So what I want you to think about going into this new year is where am I obsessed with my instant gratification that I need to delay it? And where should I start delaying

my gratification more? It's that simple because great things take time. So that's what I got for you for today's episode. If you love this episode, please share it with someone that you know and love. And I'm going to leave you the same way I leave you every single episode. Make it your mission to make someone else's day better. I appreciate you, and I hope that you have an amazing day.
