INSTANT
GRATIFICATION L
ike just about everyone else in the world, 2020 was a trying year for me. It was a year of a lot of struggles and changes, but it was also a year that allowed me to sit back and reflect on life. As we move further into 2021 and life slowly returns to normal, I find myself trying to hold onto one of the few good things that 2020 did provide: an appreciation for life slowed down.

Pondering over this aspect allowed me to realize just how much we expect from instant gratification in our lives. What do I mean by instant gratification? These days, it’s all around us. Shopping is instant: You can find whatever you want on Amazon and have it delivered the next day. Communication is instant: You can contact anyone by text or call.
