The marshmallow experiment proves the power of patience. When you can delay gratification/reward, you’re more likely to have success in your life. The concept of patience ties perfectly into what we discussed in previous episodes. Having patience is the prerequisite for becoming the experiencer of your thoughts and feelings. Patience is the ability that you need to increase the gap between stimulus and reaction. The good news is that there are mundane ways to practice patience every day.

Our thoughts and emotions tend to carry us away. We believe that we are our thoughts and feelings. What if there was a way to become the experiencer of our thoughts and emotions? What would happen then to the intensity of our feelings? How might our lives change? All that, I discuss in this episode.

This episode is about the fundamental choice that you have in life. There are two ways to go about living your life. I illustrate those two ways by giving the example of public speaking and being criticized by someone. The inspiration for this approach comes from Michael Singer.
