impact Archives - Adam Kirk Smith

You don’t need to be a CEO of some huge corporation to make a difference in the business world. You also don’t need to be in management to impact your organization. People are wired differently, and it’s okay to be an assistant to someone. People need your help in whatever capacity that may be. It’s also okay to be an employee in a company if that’s what you’re happy doing.

Too many times, people use comparison as a reason to want to change their profession, but that’s not a good enough reason to change. To be like someone else is to overlook the purpose you have for your life. I know I have focused on this subject a lot lately, but it’s so important. When you lose sight of the fact that you are you for a reason, and nobody else can do what you do, the importance of knowing who you are as a person becomes much more clear.

I love instant gratification. There’s something about wanting something and then getting it that just makes me happy. I know that there are plenty of things out there that are worth the wait, but I can be very impatient.

The desire for instant gratification can have a multitude of effects on your ability to accomplish your goals, both good and bad. While at first glance, we would assume that wanting to get something quickly would be entirely detrimental, it does have its advantages. But first, what does the battle with instant gratification look like for a typical person?

Instant gratification stems from your inability to live in both the present and the future. We are really only able to look at today as the present and have a general idea of what the future might be, and what we might want then. However, the future can seem far away, and for most people it’s incredibly difficult to put value on that future experience. Who knows what might happen in-between now and then?
