In an era characterized by the relentless pursuit of immediate satisfaction, the digital world has drastically shortened our attention spans and has amplified our desires for instant rewards. A term called 'delayed gratification' is a concept deeply rooted in our psychological makeup, and in an American culture that values speed over depth and immediate pleasure over lasting fulfillment. This philosophical approach is not only increasingly overlooked, it is often ignored. Through meticulously curated blend of a lifetime of practice and research, philosophical insights and transformative real life stories, today's guest Dr. Emilio Justo sheds light on how the intentional act of pausing and serve is a powerful catalyst for growth. In essence, it's a place where instant gratification goes back to school and into a retoolment period whereby it resurfaces to the world in an entirely new way. In his new best-selling book, "THE POWER OF PAUSE: Mastering Delayed Gratification for Success," Dr. Justo invites his readers on an introspective journey, challenging them to recalibrate their internal compasses and align their actions with their most profound aspirations. Once mastered, this newfound skill promises to unlock unparalleled levels of personal and professional achievement. Dr. Justo's life story is an inspiration. He was born in Cuba and fled as a refugee with his parents to the US, overcoming poverty and discrimination, and has achieved super success as an eye physician, cosmetic surgeon, two-time international TEDx speaker, best-selling author, master teacher and visionary.
On this episode of American Real, Roger asks Dr. Justo as to why Dr. Justo chose to pursue becoming an author in addition to a speaker and a surgeon. "I get that question quite often. I even question myself with that very same question and truly I think what it's been is again going along the concept of delayed gratification," Dr. Justo says. "In the first half of my career professional career I made some good decisions and I made some really bad decisions that the second half of my career is when I really excelled and I learned from my mistakes. I embrace those mistakes and as my wife repeatedly tells me that I made lemonade out of all the lemons that I was dealt. But certainly, I'm very proud of what I've accomplished and so I started thinking, you know, especially raising our kids. It's been probably the biggest challenge in my life. It is not really fully realizing how difficult in today's society it is, raising teenagers in particular, and so this whole concept of the delayed gratification really started hitting... I try and talk to them and explain to them. And you know, they nod their head and they seemingly agree but in reality they don't, because I see their actions and I see what they say, and so they just don't get it. They just don't get it. So so as a result I first decided to venture in the way of the TEDx stage and that happened purely by in a sense just by luck... here it is, now August. We're what, seven, eight months into it? And it's now exceeded over 6 million views. But even prior to that, you know I saw the momentum that it was gaining and that's what started me thinking, 'hey, you know maybe I need to write a book about this and see if I can expand upon the concepts which I started.'"
