If you want to know where your life is headed, listen to the words that are coming out of your mouth, right?

Because God's word says, you shall decree a thing and it will be established for you.

Hey, I'm Terry Savelle Poy, your cheerleader of dreams.

I want to talk to you today about how to build self-discipline in five simple words and you're gonna love this I just

discovered this five word secret to success from John Asarraf and it's so

encouraging first let me tell you about an experiment that I heard on YouTube

and it's called the marshmallow test so what happened was they took children in a room

with one marshmallow and they said if you wait don't eat the marshmallow then you will get two

marshmallows. They were just seeing how great these kids were with delaying gratification

because if you can delay gratification, you are wired for success.

Well, they found that one-third of the kids shove the marshmallow in their mouths instantly.

Can't wait, got to have it now. Instant gratification.

The second group just said, I'm going to wait.

Naturally, just delayed gratification.

The third group was really interesting because they really wanted the marshmallow and they were combined like groups one and two. They wanted it so bad, but they

also wanted to wait for two. So they turned their chairs around not to face it, they made

funny faces. They tried not to look at the marshmallow. And they forced themselves to wait, and they got the two marshmallows.

So here's the thing. Group one, instant gratification. Group two, naturally delayed it.

And group three were programmed to be group one, but they fought with themselves until they became group two.

They resisted their natural instinct to eat

the marshmallows. So the therapist said, what they discovered as they followed these children

for years was that groups two and three were far more successful than group one.
