We want to be fulfilled happy lives. Like that's what we want. We want to be a look back on our life and go,

I'm glad I spent my time doing that thing. Most people don't get there. Instead of popping up out of the matrix and going,

what truly matters to me.

They just go based off of the dopamine, society,

what their parents said, something else, and they chase that thing.

That's the equivalent of you know every time you leave the casino,

you feel like crap.

But sitting at the slot machine feel so damn good.

So you just pull it again and you pull it again and you pull it again.

But eventually you leave the casino and you're full of regret and despair.

That is us not having a level of awareness that us pulling on this slot machine

even though right now it feels good is not serving us in the long run.

We need that level of awareness of what the things are that actually create joy.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Chasing Excellence.

My name is Patre Cummings.

As always, I'm here with Ben Bergeron.

Every week on the show, we dedicate some time to exploring how we can live a life of better health and increased fulfillment.

We answer your questions about the five factors of health and dive deep on living a life of excellence

and explore the strategies and framework, styleless chase, what truly matters.

Thank you as always for joining us.

Hello, how are you Ben?

Doing good, I'm pretty pumped up, Patrick.
