Accomplishments, whether big or small, play a pivotal role in shaping our sense of self-worth and achievement. When we set goals and work diligently to achieve them, our brain releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. This neurochemical reaction reinforces our behavior, making us more likely to repeat actions that lead to similar positive outcomes. Celebrating an accomplishment further amplifies this dopamine response, solidifying the connection between effort and reward
