Home Staging: Managing Setbacks

The world is made up of losers and winners. So what's the difference between the two? Well, there are many reasons, of course, but one that always sticks out has to do with gratification.

Losers like pleasurable activities just for the sake of the "now" pleasure. They are after the "instant gratification".

Winners, on the other hand, choose activities that will give them long-term positive results. That is known as "delayed gratification".

Losers will quit working early so they can go play or socialize.

Winners will keep on working even though everyone around them is playing and even though they would rather be playing. They have the ability to keep their mind focused on the long term goal, not the short term gratification.

And one last thing.

They will work hard without complaining.
