Modern success is emotional endurance — resisting short-term hits for long-term power.
Why it matters: Every distraction hijacks dopamine, reducing your ability to focus deeply. Training patience strengthens neural control.
Actionable steps:
- Fast from dopamine triggers (social media, sugar) one day per week.
- Reward only completion, not initiation.
- Track urges — awareness weakens their grip.
Takeaway: Master dopamine, and you master desire.
