Change yourself

Jake slumped onto the couch, annoyed by all the chores his mom had piled on him. Cleaning up, setting the table, taking out the trash—it was too much. He groaned in frustration, not wanting to deal with this kind of work every day. There had to be an easier way to handle it all. Why did he make her dominant again?

That’s when a thought struck him. The app could change other people’s behavior—why couldn’t it change his? Maybe he could just make himself *want* to do these things or feel good about it. He didn’t overthink it; he just wanted the annoyance to stop.

Pulling out his phone, Jake opened the app, quickly navigating to the scan option. He snapped a photo of himself, not even sure if it would work. To his surprise, the app processed his image, and just like that, his own profile popped up on the screen.

Without hesitating, he typed into the command field:

**"Jake feels rewarded and satisfied after listening to his mom."**

It didn’t take long for him to hit enter. The app responded as always:

**"Command accepted."**

Jake didn’t think much of it, relieved that maybe now things would feel easier. He tossed his phone aside, not really considering what he had just done—just glad to have a solution for all the work his mom kept throwing his way.
