Learning to Delay Gratification is Part of Maturing Emotionally

DAVE SAYS: Learning to Delay Gratification is Part of Maturing Emotionally

Dear Dave,

I know a big part of your teaching centers around the importance of learning to delay gratification. You seem to believe reaching a level of maturity where you can do this is essential to attain the things in life that are really important. But this can be hard sometimes, no matter how old you are or how mature you happen to be. Do you have any suggestions for someone struggling to reach this point?
