 CompTrain Daily Mindset.

Are you good at delaying instant gratification? Or are you able to focus on the big picture and see that something small right now isn’t as important than holding off and focusing on the thing you are working towards? Read this and see what one you are in this experiment.

“The Marshmallow Experiment”

The experiment conducted decades ago began by bringing in children into a room, one by one, sitting them down in a chair with a single marshmallow in front of them.

Here, the researcher offered a deal. He said he was going to leave the room, and if the child didn’t eat the marshmallow while he was away, then a second marshmallow would be rewarded. However, if the child chose to eat the marshmallow while he was away, they wouldn’t get a second. What he didn’t say was how long he’d be gone. The choice was simple – one treat now, or two treats later.

Some of the children ate it right away. Some squirmed around for a bit, and gave in after a couple of minutes. And some of the children managed to wait until the researcher came back.

The research team followed the participants for 40 years afterwards. The children who ate the marshmallow immediately… struggled in life. They didn’t have careers they were proud of, and they didn’t live lives they were happy with. The children who held out went on to live as highly successful individuals.

The ability to delay gratification is a critical component in life. Whether we want to go to the CrossFit Games, be the best spouse we can be, or propel our career forward, we must have the willpower to stay the course with the longer term in mind. Even when we’re tired, hungry, beat up, and starving for a bite of that marshmallow… we’re tough enough to hang on.

  1. Awsome info and right to the point. I don’t know if this is actually the best
    place to ask but do you people have any thoughts
    on where to hire some professional writers? Thank you 🙂

  2. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I found this in my search for something regarding this.

  3. Aw, this was a very good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to generate a very good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never manage to get anything done.

  5. May I simply say what a relief to uncover somebody that genuinely knows what they’re talking about on the net. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people have to read this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised you are not more popular since you definitely possess the gift.
