Gtpministries.org – There was an experiment on a monkey, which naturally turned out to like grapes. The monkey’s brain was fitted with a device to see the effect of its stimulation on wine.
When he sees grapes, his brain is highly stimulated. Especially when the grapes are brought close to him, then held, and ready to eat. The wave frequency is rising, continuing to rise and rise. But what’s interesting, it turns out that when you chew it, the effect decreases.
In short, it can be interpreted that monkeys feel more motivated and stimulated when “chasing” grapes, than when “eating” them.
“As a motivator, desire is more powerful than fulfillment. The pursuit of pleasure is often more exciting than the pleasure itself. It was not just the consumption, but also the anticipation is creating happiness.” The pursuit of pleasure often feels more enjoyable than enjoying and being grateful for it.
Our imagination is stronger than reality, our dreams are more beautiful than the real thing, the colors are more beautiful than the real thing. Our desires feel stronger and more motivating than when we get them.
In this life, we often see that our pursuits feel bland when we get them, which feel “just like that.” Chasing will only result in endless subsequent pursuits.
Naturally, we must learn to be grateful and enjoy what we have now, whether it is family, work, business and so on. In this way, gratitude will change our mindset, that the purpose of everything we do is for God. What we have now is God’s gift for which we should be grateful and accountable.
And whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God our Father,” (Colossians 3:17).
Have fun with your activities, Focus on God, take care of your health, stay enthusiastic and enthusiastic. May the Lord Jesus always bestow His grace on all of us.
