The speaker redefines addiction as any persistent desire that never feels satisfied, from substances to the stories we tell ourselves or the need for constant achievement. True satisfaction, like eating when hungry, stops the cycle. Identify what you're addicted to and choose genuine fulfillment instead.
Good morning, everyone. Here is your Moment of Yes for today. Happy Monday to you. So a question for you for your Moment of Yes for today is, what are you addicted to?

But when I say addiction, obviously there's the things that we think about, material things, alcoholism, cigarettes, drugs. Sex, all these different things that have become sort of cliché addictions.

What things in my life do I think that I have to have continuously? You know, is it a story? Is it an actual thing? And what is behind it? What is behind that lack of satisfaction that you're feeling from that? So, and then you can just live your yes more and more. So what are you addicted to?
