Winners are addicted to ๐—ช๐—œ๐—ก๐—ก๐—œ๐—ก๐—š.

Losers are addicted to ๐—ช๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ป.

Know the difference. One is real, the other is synthetic

.
Winning feels like bliss. It comes like a cathartic release after months or years of effort. And it teachers winners that the JUICE IS WORTH THE SQUEEZE.

Winners know the cycle of sow, reap, sow, reap. The output justifies the input, and the longer they play the game, the more efficiently they can generate massive output with minimal input.

Losers on the other hand reach for ๐™š๐™–๐™จ๐™ฎ & ๐™–๐™˜๐™˜๐™š๐™จ๐™จ๐™ž๐™—๐™ก๐™š ๐™™๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ข๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™š. This can come in the form of food, drugs or entertainment. The scary thing is, this dopamine tricks the loser into feeling like he is winning, without he actual effort that is required to win. This is why I call it winning porn.
