Marshmallow Test
If you haven't seen this video already- please watch it. A few measly marshmallows
and a couple of kids can teach you a huge life lesson here.
If you watched it- what lesson can be learned from this? I'm sure you know.. WAIT.
Simple, right? Then why is it so hard?
This past summer I got to go to the infamous Disneyland.. and there.. Lyssa and I found..
there were lines.
Like you couldn't believe! One line we were standing in had to be enlarged because there were
too many people waiting. Although, once we did wait- the ride was pretty amazing.
Another ride in Legoland I believe... we were told it wasn't working and they didn't know
how long it would be
until it started again. Lots of people were leaving... but we waited. And we got to go on the ride.
A lot of rides we didn't wait for- but the ones we did wait for were well worth it.
Another great example is Job. Job was a man in the Bible who had almost everything-
and who lost it all. He got a terrible, painful disease and he had nothing left except for his
nagging wife. She told Job that all he had to do was to curse God, and then he
would die and be put out of his misery.
Yeah- it was that bad.
Everyone around Job told him to give up- but he didn't, and in the end, he got back
10 times everything he had owned before.
Job was a lot like the last kid who got not just one- but two marshmallows- all because he waited.
I think that temptation is so hard because let's face it- we really want those marshmallows.
Resisting to something we want is hard. But if we wait- if we wait for the
next marshmallow or save up for that new guitar- it's so much better when you finally get it.
