Ever heard of steroids for your habits?
Sounds too good to be true, right?
Well think about it.
Motivation, discipline and willpower may not tangible (yet).
Also, we occupy a vessel which we may never ever completely understand.
However...
We do know enough about human behaviour to lead ourselves in the right direction…
…and retake control…
Let me guess...
Your days feel boring, monotonous, tedious, repetitive.
You struggle to tear yourself away from technology.
Faint visions of a productive lifestyle interrupt your gaming session.
"Doom-scrolling" to ease the feelings of regret and wasted potential.
It doesn't have to be this way.
What I'm about to share with you is the closest you're gonna get to a silver bullet or magical pill...
...Without it actually being a magic pill.
We're at a turning point in behavioural design.
We have study upon study describing the tools to get desired results from the Human animal.
These tools are what causes us to get "distracted" to begin with...
Other companies, people, and faceless entities use these tools on you
And not just you...
Your families...
Your friends...
Your children...
...all for their own gain.
So what's stopping you from using these tools on yourself?
To get you to do what you want you to do. (You read it right the first time)
Would it surprise you to know that the only thing stopping you is...
Well...
Nothing... Really...
You're already investing some time to learn about these tools by reading this.
Which brings me to the topic of this post.
The first tool in your new toolkit

But today we're going to talk about the first of the core drives in his Octalysis framework.
And how we can utilise these drives in our lives.
Have you ever had the feeling that you're compelled to do something, or be someone?
Or have you ever experienced something that feels like it's made for you?
Whether in real life or in fiction, we're all familiar with this feeling.
Maybe you found yourself in a story where the world is under threat and you're the one who needs to save it.
Or perhaps, you remember a special moment with your family and it reminds you of home.
This feeling can give you hope, courage, strength.
It lets you understand your values, gives you something to fight for, to protect.
It shapes your identity, and gives you a reason to live another day.
This is Core Drive #1: Epic Meaning and Calling
Some (if not all) of the most powerful brands use this tool to influence your decision making.
Stay attentive for when this tool is being used on you...
...You may even feel it while reading this post.
It's infectious.
It's gripping.
Tools have no ethics. Tools are not good, nor bad.
It's how we use them which is important.
So…
You may be asking…
…How can we use these tools in a way that moves us in a positive direction?
This is the question I am diving into.
You could say this is my "Epic meaning and calling"
I want as many people as possible to harness their potential to the fullest.
Which is why I'm sharing this with you

So many ways for you to get the best out of yourself.

Its faster when you have someone walking you through these steps.

To make sense of it all.
Help yourself
It's yours
