imaginarium….short term pain....for the long-term gain.
I think that a lot of people stay in toxic relationships because they can't face the short term pain....
If they only knew and believed that they would be so much happier in the long run....
Not able to tolerate the delayed gratification.....
I once read about an experiment on delayed gratification in children.....
They placed a marshmallow in front of the children and left them alone in the room for 15 minutes. The children were told that they could eat that marshmallow...BUt...if they didn't eat the marshmallow, that they would receive 2 marshmallows that they could eat, at the end of the 15 minutes....
