Because then that would be the norm, and it would be exactly the same, and for motivation you’d need something else, or simply more dopamine.

Your brain produces dopamine all the time. If you give it a bit more, you may feel high, but if you keep giving more dopamine, it’ll become your new normal eventually and you’ll need more.

On a side note, try to remember that our brains are evolved to keep us alive, *not happy*.
