DELAYED GRATIFICATION
Written on Monday 17th April 2023
For more years that I dare to mention I have learnt that delayed gratification is the key to my life path. Even when I was running a courier business, I had got into a mindset that the payment would often come months after the delivery was complete.
The podcast, Spirited Talk, took months of work before any small rewards were received back. That theme continues today with my writing work, in all forms. I am working with a knowing that there will be delayed gratification involved.
I find myself wondering how many people these days understand the importance of that important aspect of their work with the spirit world. By the very nature of it, this work with spirit relies on delayed gratification.
Specifically, when I started the spirit-inspired writing with intent in February 2022, I knew that it would be a long time before I was transcribing true messages from the spirit world through this source. Now, 14 months later, we’re seeing the results of that commitment.
We’re hear it said all the time that learning to work alongside the spirit world is a journey without a destination. To do so needs a mindset of delayed gratification. If money was the only reward we could expect from this work then there is no question that this would lead most of us to becoming financially poor. But the richness comes from the experiences, the wisdom and the miracles each of us witness whilst communicating with the other realm.
Delayed gratification isn’t a burden we must endure, it’s a vision of things to come. It’s not going without, instead it’s building for the future. It’s not about being wise enough, it’s about adding to the personal bank of knowledge, day in and day out.
