Why You Don't Want Your Dream Life Anymore

Sometimes, we dream about a life that we secretly hate. It comes from a simple confusion between *wanting something and actually liking it.* When you dream about achieving a big goal, you usually want the result. But do you also want the hard work, sacrifice, uncertainty, and boring process that comes with it? That’s where the conflict begins. The life you are chasing may not even be the life you truly want. Our brain can make us believe that if we want something, we must also like it. And this can be one reason why we keep delaying things. Maybe procrastination isn't always laziness. Maybe sometimes it's a signal that you're chasing the wrong thing. In this video, let's use psychology and neuroscience to understand why we behave this way.
