Proven by the fact that trials in children show a massive correlation between positives outcomes and the ability to delay gratification.

Yep. And not physical but also psychological!

Which is very similar to courage.

100% agree.

Enduring pain and discomfort is delaying gratification, which is a sign of intelligence.

#bitcoin fixes this too 🤣

Can confirm. I am an idiot but I passed the life marshmallow test and was willing to endure pain long enough to achieve my goals. You don’t need to be a genius to succeed - you just need a vision and ability to will it into existence

Try a 24 hour fast. The first time will be extremely uncomfortable. But after it is done, you find that you gain a little power over the part of your mind that makes you think you need food every day-you don’t.

emotional intelligence🙏
