The skewed perception of future rewards and losses

Our brain struggles to find motivation in future accomplishments as the dopamine reward cannot be experienced in the present. Conversely, the pain of a potential loss in the future can be felt today, leading to a heightened sense of loss that is double the actual value. This skewed perception of future rewards and losses often leaves individuals feeling stuck and overwhelmed by the fear of possible losses, hindering their ability to take action and make progress.
