What are we chasing there? voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

There's the joy of the game. voice-verified

And then there's our attempt to duplicate it in the future. voice-verified

And he says this is true of all pleasure. voice-verified

Anything that you're chasing will lead to an obsession and an obsession will inevitably lead to problems. voice-verified

and suffering. voice-verified

And one of the basic reasons for this is that unfortunately in our brain, we have this dopaminergic circuitry, which develops tolerance. voice-verified

If we didn't develop tolerance, then the whole situation would be different, right? voice-verified

But the whole problem is that the first time that you use heroin, you have an amazing high. voice-verified

And for the rest of your addiction, you are chasing that high for the rest of your life. voice-verified

And as long as you are chasing what was in the past, you're never going to find it. voice-verified

As long as you're looking for the relationship that you used to have, you'll never be able to appreciate whatever you find next. voice-verified

Like, hold on a second, Dr. K. If I'm not supposed to chase pleasure, then how the hell do I motivate myself? voice-verified

We'll get to that in a second. voice-verified

We have, by the way, if you guys want more detail on this, a whole deep dive, a six-hour workshop into inaction and action that you guys can check out. voice-verified

If you all want to get into the detail of how to motivate yourselves. voice-verified

But we're not done yet. voice-verified
