Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Did You Know?

A gratifying experience is quietly pleasing or satisfying. 

But gratifying an impulse 

           means giving in to it, 

           which isn't always such a good idea, 

and "instant gratification" of every desire 

           will result in a life based on junk food and worse. 

Truly gratifying experiences and accomplishments 

           usually are the result of time and effort.
