You never thought about that Astreja, did you?
My personal experience of nearly six decades says otherwise. In My case, satisfaction leads to confidence and the desire to tackle something even more challenging. This is in accord with the work on "flow" by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, whom I consider to be a reputable authority on the subject of human happiness.
As for the rest of your nonsense -- I do not believe in eternal life, or in souls, and I do not want eternal life.
It seem that your psychologist contradict himself.
In this article it say.........Csikszentmihalyi characterized nine component states of achieving flow including “challenge-skill balance, merging of action and awareness, clarity of goals, immediate and unambiguous feedback, concentration on the task at hand, paradox of control, transformation of time, loss of self-consciousness, and autotelic experience............
Now first he say......merging of action and awareness......and then he say......... loss of self-consciousness.........
That is bizarre Astr.
How can be possible to be aware when your consciousness is not active?
That guy is a nutcase.
