The Law Of Diminishing Return On Success
Do you remember your first taste of success? It may have been when you were 5 years old and you sweet-talked your mom into just one more bite of the peanut butter pie. Your first taste of success may have come later. You may remember what it felt like to land your first sale. It was oh so sweet.
Something happens after that first taste of success. We begin to chase success. We want to feel like we did when we first tasted success.
The high. Oh, that high of success. It felt so good.
The next success still felt good. But it felt different. The success didn’t fill you the same way your first success did.
Then, there’s a big success you experienced. You get the dopamine hit again. You’re off to the races.
The hit wears off and you’re back where you begin.
