We live in a time and age where everything we could possibly need is at our fingertips.
We have more 'efficiency' in the way of productivity apps, AI, automation, the ability to do business anywhere in the world from our home.
We have more information, tools and resources available to us on demand; and at low to no cost.
At the same time, most people are way too busy, stressed out, overweight, unhealthy, lacking fulfillment and financially strapped.
๐๐ค ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐จ?
How can we possibly have so many tools available to us to make us more efficient and more intelligent, shouldn't we all be superhumans?
I think a big part of the problem is people are unaware of where they get their dopamine from.
We all get our fix, but where does it come from?
Social media, junk food, gambling, trading stocks, alcohol/substances, news, politics, advertising, buying stuff we don't need.
Those are all hits of dopamine and they are highly addictive and they keep us highly distracted, unhealthy and spending money.
๐ฝ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐๐ค๐ฅ๐๐ข๐๐ฃ๐:
You could also get your fix from things that move you forward in life.
Better job, build a business, make a certain income, create more financial abundance, make a change in the world.
The dangerous side of this is it can get you on the 'dopamine treadmill' and chasing the external symbols of success.
Money, titles, awards, achievement; all can be nice things but leave you unfulfilled in the long term.

You will become absolutely limitless if you can learn to love ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฎ ๐ค๐ซ๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ.
Making a simple deposit of 5 hours per week in yourself, focusing on becoming a better version of yourself can pay massive dividends.
I personally wake up at 5:45 each morning to give me 2-3 solid hours of me time, which amounts to over 800-1000 hours in a year.

The icing on the cake is to pair your dopamine with serotonin!
Serotonin comes from savoring, enjoying, being present, living in gratitude!
