Thanks for the great reminder. You’re right; I think this is totally related to business success. It actually very much supports the advice in this post: “Your Business Success Depends on Action, Not More Information”.

In the above post, you talk about the immature drive people succumb to, of always looking for instant gratification in their business planning, and being unwilling to put in efforts that might take more than a few days or weeks to show results.

If we were to give ourselves the instant gratification of knowing we have a totally joyful experience to look forward to every day (maybe 2x-morning and eve?), maybe we’d feel a little less desperation to seek it in our business.

On the other hand, if we are to deny ourselves happiness until we acheive a certain level of success, it may create the very misery and desperation that drives our need for instant business solutions. Great advice as usual!
