That's literally hijacking your own brain chemistry to work for you. Dopamine is a chemical often associated with pleasure, but is also the same neurochemical responsible for motivation.
When you strive to achieve something, your brain starts releasing these chemicals to motivate you to keep going. With these chemicals now circulating through your synapses, you start to feel good about yourself because you're inadvertently activating the pleasure centers of your brain.
