The process of increasing dopamine in the brain by talking about your goals, plans, and desires for change—without taking any real action.

Have you ever noticed how good it feels when you talk about the goals, plans, and changes you want to make in your life?
That feeling comes from a surge of dopamine in your brain.
But here’s the problem: many people stop right there.

We talk about our dreams, tell others what we plan to do, how much we’re going to change, and the future we’re building for ourselves.
But in reality, we take no action.

This process is what’s known as *mental masturbation*—enjoying the illusion of progress without doing any real work.

The issue is that our brain doesn’t differentiate much between talking and doing.
When we talk about our plans and receive validation from others, it creates a false sense of accomplishment.

As a result, our real motivation to take action decreases because our brain feels like we’ve already achieved our goal.
So, it’s not the eyes of others that keep you from reaching your goals—it’s your own brain’s dopamine.

**Here’s the truth:**
Talking about your dreams gives you a temporary high, but it’s empty calories for your soul.
Real growth happens in the silence of action, not the noise of words.

**What can you do?**
1. **Stop oversharing:** Keep your goals to yourself until you’ve made real progress.
2. **Focus on action:** Replace talking with doing. Even small steps count.
3. **Embrace discomfort:** Real change happens outside your comfort zone.
4. **Rewire your brain:** Train yourself to find pleasure in the process, not just the outcome.

Remember:
Your brain is wired to seek instant gratification, but true success comes from delayed gratification.
Don’t let dopamine trick you into feeling accomplished before you’ve even started.

The world doesn’t reward what you *say* you’ll do—it rewards what you *actually* do.
So, stop talking, start acting, and let your results speak for themselves."

There is no permanent state.
If you don’t work for yourself, society will impose a job on you.
If you don’t set your own goals, your environment will set them for you.
If you don’t shape your own identity, society and your surroundings will shape it for you.

**Be careful about what you let into your mind.**
Every piece of information you consume is programming your mind for success or failure.
This is serious! Don’t take it lightly—be selective about what you allow into your mind.

**Use the power of the internet wisely.**
In today’s world, with the power of the internet, you can achieve things in a very short time that were impossible just a few years ago!
Use the device in your hand wisely!
Discipline and focus are more important now than ever before.
Never in history has humanity been faced with such an overwhelming amount of information and distractions.
Today, we need to understand the importance of using these tools correctly and protecting our focus, attention, and mental energy. Otherwise, we’ll lose them quickly, and our performance will suffer greatly.

**Stillness is the key.**
The best things happen in moments of stillness.
The Stoics called it "stillness," and today, we often refer to it as "flow" or "deep focus."
In whatever you do, create an environment where nothing distracts you, and you can fully immerse yourself in your work. Genius emerges in this state.

**Remember:**
Your mind is your greatest asset—protect it.
Your focus is your superpower—guard it.
Your energy is your currency—spend it wisely.
The world will try to distract you, but your ability to stay still, focused, and intentional will set you apart.

Choose your battles, protect your peace, and let your work speak for itself. The future belongs to those who can master their minds and harness their energy. Will you be one of them?"

- *"Is this the work I need to do to create the life I want?"*
- *"What am I willing to sacrifice: the life I dream of or my current comfort?"*

💡 **Remember:** The life you want is built on the choices you make today. Choose wisely, act boldly, and keep growing! 🌱

A year has 8,760 hours.
If you dedicate just 100 hours a year to learning a skill—that’s only 16 minutes a day (or 1.1% of your day)—you will become better than 95% of people in that skill.
Books like The Compound Effect, The Slight Edge, Atomic Habits, and many others talk about this same principle. Consistency is an incredibly powerful force.
Still have doubts?
Try it and see the results for yourself.

Success isn’t built in a day—it’s crafted in the quiet, consistent moments that most overlook.
While many chase the illusion of overnight achievement, the real winners know that greatness is a result of daily discipline: that early morning alarm, the few pages read each night, the daily workout, and the small, intentional choices that compound over time.

These habits may seem insignificant at first, but like seeds planted with care, they grow into unshakable confidence. And when you trust the process—when you show up, day after day—you’ll find yourself ready for bigger challenges, bolder moves, and breakthroughs that once felt out of reach. Because true success isn’t about a single heroic effort; it’s the sum of every small step you refused to skip.
Start small, stay consistent, and watch those tiny efforts build the life—or business—you’ve always wanted.

To create things, you have to be a rational optimist. And stay away from pessimists.
if you want to be successful in life, creating wealth, or having good relationships, or being fit, or even being happy, you need to have an action bias towards getting what you want. Mindset matters.
