Executive dysfunction in one image.
You don’t see reality.
You see your emotional state, projected onto everything.
Had a decent day?
Stuck to your diet?
Still feel like a f*ckup?

Hitting your goals isn’t the problem.

Most people don’t live in the present moment.
Not because they can’t.
Because they keep expecting it to feel like something.
But here’s the truth:
The present moment doesn’t feel like anything.

It’s just now. Still. Empty. Uncomfortable.

You’re not stuck because you’re lazy.
You’re stuck because your old identity won’t let go.

Being Driven means you feel too much, move too fast, and crave control.
Stillness feels wrong.
Change feels pointless unless it’s big, fast, or immediate.
But that wiring? It’s not broken. It just needs the right environment.

Resolutions fail because they’re too damn big.
You tell yourself: “This year, I’ll finally meditate for 20 minutes a day.”
Your brain? Laughs.
Your nervous system? Shuts down.
And by February, you're back in chaos.

Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS) is a neurological condition in which the brain struggles to experience reward. Wins feel flat, success feels hollow. It’s not ungratefulness or laziness.
It’s biology, not a flaw.
