TRUE SATISFACTION

There are two kinds of pleasures:

• Short term - False pleasure

• Long term - True satisfaction

The instant gratifications, short term, is when you CONSUME while delayed gratification, long term, is when you CREATE.

Consumption only lights up your dopamine centre temporally and makes you want more and more. Your dopamine receptors get less and less sensitive to the external stimuli → leading you to need bigger and bigger does to get the same dopamine hit.

Once the dopamine spike wears off you don't feel so good. This is why we call it false pleasure.

True satisfaction is when you create. When you add value, either to your own life, to the life of others or to both. This activity also gives you a dopamine hit, not as intense as the false pleasure hit but this one does not have any side effects.

This always feels good even after the dopamine spike subsides.

Which one do you practise the most?

• False pleasure - consumption

• True satisfaction - creation
