Back in the 70s there was experiments done with toddlers to study Delayed Gratification. They would offer a kid a single marshmallow with the option of eating it now OR waiting some time for 2 marshmallows.

They studied brain patterns and followed the children throughout their lives and found the kids who were able to wait for more treats performed materially better academically and professionally. The results also show better relationships with peers and family but since its a Stanford experiment I won't let them judge success on this point as that likely means BluePill.

Still, the academic and professional outperformance is quantifiable and reasonably objective. Saying "not now, soon" and controlling primitive impulses is correlated with success. This is regarded as one of the most successful behavioral experiments ever.

Why we care:

The bitching about women being so awful is necessary but not the point here at TRP. I see "veterans" in other subs who can't see past this to the real pot of gold. We are arming you with the tools to overcome but not eliminate resistence to your dreams.

Learn to delay pleasure and you are playing on fast mode. This is the essence of mental toughness. Most people cannot do this.

Want a movie star physique? Let me break it to you, you will be hungry cutting to 10 percent. Its going to suck.

Wanna get ahead at work fast? You have to outrun your competition. Fuck that, you should run circles around them and be invaluable to the buisiness. Know the others job better than them. Sabotage them with laws of power.

Fuck you money? It was saved and it compounded. Hard to do when you wanna travel and buy suits and toys. Wait then spend

Maybe you have very different goals but if you want them to be of the type where people are impressed and hate you for reflecting back their own inferiority then you must learn to delay gratification.

This is 100 percent mental so if are weak, you fail your laid out plans.

Most people suck and won't actually effect personal change and grow. I have a feeling that if you reading me now, you are better than most folks and I wish you all the best.
