It can, however, be a sign of self-responsibility and creativity. Learn to spend quality time alone. For example, take long walks where you can think through things, sit quietly and reflect on your life, or do some mindless task like weeding the garden while you reflect. This is quality alone time and will support you on your journey through life. Seven - Be willing to delay your gratification.
Instant gratification is the culprit of much unhappiness.
By taking the quickest, easiest, cheapest, or shortest route, you most often guarantee that you will get inferior quality. You are cheating yourself out of real value and often will have a price to pay for it. Some people pay the price of their very lives. Be willing to wait a little longer and effort a little harder. Do not settle for less than you deserve.
