We have all gone shopping and seen
the little kid in the cereal aisle crying and begging his mom for his favorite
cereal.
Inside each and every one of us you
will find that little kid. The little
kid is the enemy in each of us.
This little kid is a former version of ourselves, he screams that we are hungry, angry, lonely and tired.
He tells us that we need to have
that new thing because the old thing isn’t as good. If we just had the new
thing we would never ask for another thing ever again. We would be so happy if
we just had the new thing.
We need to teach this little kid to behave and to be generous.
Delaying gratification is the only
way to make the little kid behave. Teaching ourselves to delay gratification is
the number one way to unlocking wealth.
