We have become a spoilt and impatient lot that demands an immediate google answer and can’t bother to email because messaging is so much faster. The technology has made us slaves to instant gratification and our need for immediacy is insatiable. I harrumphed and let out a big sigh not too long ago when a web page took 15 seconds to load. Fifteen seconds? Are you kidding me? Why back in the day that was considered faster than the speed of light!
So how can we capitalize on our insatiable appetite for NOW? Is there any good that can come from impatience to see immediate gains and rewards? What if we demanded to see immediate results in our new year’s resolutions? What if we took a look at our list of resolutions and took one resolution that we could accomplish immediately? That would be great for the psyche. We would immediately feel we gained something and we would be eager for more. To stay in that positive, I’m changing my life for the better cycle, we’ve got to see some immediate results and corresponding benefits.
So spur yourself on and give yourself a boost by picking some low hanging fruit. Achieving this goal should be almost effortless. Note the insertion of the word – almost. It will require some, albeit a little, effort – maybe a click of a few buttons or a phone call and then puff – just like that, it’s done.
