📝✍️Choosing between “Hard now, easy later” and “Easy now, hard later” is a crucial life strategy.

💭 Dr Peterson often emphasizes the importance of delayed gratification and choosing what is meaningful over what is expedient as keys to success

Option 1) Hard Now, Easy Later: Embrace challenges today, enjoy rewards tomorrow.

➡️It’s the route of delayed gratification—sweat now, so you can coast later. Whether it’s grinding through extra hours for your career or skipping those tempting junk food binges for a healthier tomorrow, you’re setting up a smoother, more fulfilling future.

😯Benefits:

  • Achieve long-term goals with less stress.
  • Build valuable skills and resilience.
  • Enjoy a sense of accomplishment and security.

Option 2) Easy Now, Hard Later: Opt for the path of least resistance now, face the consequences later.

➡️It feels good at the moment, but it’s like kicking the can down the road—eventually, you’ll have to pick it up, and it might be heavier than ever.

😵Drawbacks:

  • Future challenges could be daunting.
  • Missed opportunities for growth.
  • Potential regrets for easier choices made today.

🧠The Bottom Line: Your choices shape your future. It’s about choosing your battle wisely—invest in your future by sometimes taking the harder road now. After all, the best views come after the hardest climbs.
