it is try to think of a time when you’ve either gone to the gym or worked out you
either gone to the gym or worked out you
either gone to the gym or worked out you feel that little boost of energy at the

feel that little boost of energy at the end as well where you feel happy you
end as well where you feel happy you
end as well where you feel happy you feel enlightened that is because of a
feel enlightened that is because of a
feel enlightened that is because of a neurotransmitter in your brain called
neurotransmitter in your brain called
neurotransmitter in your brain called dopamine neurotransmitters are the
dopamine neurotransmitters are the
dopamine neurotransmitters are the chemicals that are injected into your
chemicals that are injected into your
chemicals that are injected into your brain through glance that allow you to
brain through glance that allow you to
brain through glance that allow you to feel different things everything you
feel different things everything you
feel different things everything you feel is in fact a chemical reaction now
feel is in fact a chemical reaction now
feel is in fact a chemical reaction now dopamine
dopamine
dopamine used to be considered the feel-good
used to be considered the feel-good
used to be considered the feel-good chemical and this is because every time
chemical and this is because every time
chemical and this is because every time you complete the day task you would get
you complete the day task you would get
you complete the day task you would get a little hit of dopamine in your brain
a little hit of dopamine in your brain
a little hit of dopamine in your brain which would make you feel happy and so I
which would make you feel happy and so I
which would make you feel happy and so I wanted to go from talking about this
wanted to go from talking about this
wanted to go from talking about this good feeling this dopamine and how you
good feeling this dopamine and how you
good feeling this dopamine and how you can actually control that because it is
can actually control that because it is
can actually control that because it is controllable people can use their brains
controllable people can use their brains
controllable people can use their brains that they’re the hormones they’re
that they’re the hormones they’re
that they’re the hormones they’re invited to their advantage and so this
invited to their advantage and so this
invited to their advantage and so this is done by a step-down refinement you
is done by a step-down refinement you
is done by a step-down refinement you take a large task maybe your end goal
take a large task maybe your end goal
take a large task maybe your end goal maybe the goal for the end of the month
maybe the goal for the end of the month
maybe the goal for the end of the month at the end of the year and you break it
at the end of the year and you break it
at the end of the year and you break it down you break down into small
down you break down into small
down you break down into small individual tasks that you can divide and
individual tasks that you can divide and
individual tasks that you can divide and conquer and so with these tasks you
conquer and so with these tasks you
conquer and so with these tasks you slowly train yourself to be happy once
slowly train yourself to be happy once
slowly train yourself to be happy once you achieve and complete that task you
you achieve and complete that task you
you achieve and complete that task you slowly train yourself to become more
slowly train yourself to become more
slowly train yourself to become more motivated once you break down those
motivated once you break down those
motivated once you break down those tasks you will find that it is easier to
tasks you will find that it is easier to
tasks you will find that it is easier to complete the overall goal and so you can
complete the overall goal and so you can
complete the overall goal and so you can control your dopamine level so use it to
control your dopamine level so use it to
control your dopamine level so use it to your advantage and those in my opinion
your advantage and those in my opinion
your advantage and those in my opinion are the main driving factors of what
are the main driving factors of what
are the main driving factors of what causes us to progress as a species
causes us to progress as a species
causes us to progress as a species humans have progressed a lot in the past
humans have progressed a lot in the past
humans have progressed a lot in the past 20 to 30 years much larger than the
20 to 30 years much larger than the
20 to 30 years much larger than the hundred years before that and that’s
hundred years before that and that’s
hundred years before that and that’s because as we come smarter and more
because as we come smarter and more
because as we come smarter and more knowledgeable and the technology becomes
knowledgeable and the technology becomes
knowledgeable and the technology becomes better as we progress we make it easier
better as we progress we make it easier
better as we progress we make it easier for ourselves so therefore how long will
for ourselves so therefore how long will
for ourselves so therefore how long will this movement forward last I don’t know
this movement forward last I don’t know
this movement forward last I don’t know only time can tell what I can tell you
only time can tell what I can tell you
only time can tell what I can tell you is that compete fear overall fair

is that compete fear overall fair failure but do not feel fear the little
failure but do not feel fear the little
