The marshmallow experiment proves the power of patience. When you can delay gratification/reward, you’re more likely to have success in your life.

Patience is the ability that you need to increase the gap between stimulus and reaction. The good news is that there are mundane ways to practice patience every day.
Our thoughts and emotions tend to carry us away. We believe that we are our thoughts and feelings. What if there was a way to become the experiencer of our thoughts and emotions? What would happen then to the intensity of our feelings? How might our lives change? All that, I discuss in this episode.

In this episode, I question the widely known assumption that goals are essential to being happy and successful. Are they really, though? Or is there an alternative?
