   It’s not about where you were, and it’s not about where you are going. I found out ten years ago it’s about where you are at this specific moment in time; Moreover, where I was at that specific moment was dictated by my past choices and where I was going would continue to be navigated and dictated by my current actions. This insight was my greatest Christmas gift ever.

   **Critics find faults, but leaders find remedies.** I realized in an instant, that my life was being ruined my behavior; It affected my sleep, my persona, and my health. Did I fall back to revert to mean? I was already living in the face of abject failure? No, I did not. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was already at the point of no return. So what did I do? I read some books to gain a new perspective, of whatI might be missing. I decided to try to use other’s perspectives about failure and change drive “thought experiments” in my brain to increase my dopamine levels. This ulti…

   I was standing at the foot of Michelangelo’s David in Florence, Italy when it all clicked. I bought a notebook and started writing it all down. Honestly, I don’t really remember the rest of the trip. I was making connections every minute of the day for weeks. I studied and read more. For 14 hours on the plane ride home, I was a Google master and did not sleep a wink. When I stepped off the plane, I had written down something called, the **Holy Trinity of longevity.**

   No surprise, when Jack went to give his talk, he laid out what I was thinking with all of the minute scientific details. Dopamine allows us to increase the signal-to-noise ratio in the brain so that we can tune out distractions and live with greater levels of clarity. Anyone who has done Cold Thermogenesis sunbathed, taken long hikes in nature, or enjoyed beautiful interactions with mindful people has felt this feeling of clarity. To me, I’m able to straighten out my priorities and really come to consider that I only get one shot in this life. Jack says it means to be “all in” in everything we…

   Dopamine codes for repetition of good choices for survival in our species, in case you were wondering. That repetition does not have to be all positive or all negative. It can be both of a combo of both and still help us in many obtuse ways. The better balanced the system is, the better choices we make and the more likely it is we will survive a long time without illness. How we perceive that environmental cues are most critical to learning and survival. The dopamine system is often misstated as the reward system by researchers. When it carries a negative connotation, it’s the reward SEEKING a…

   Keep in mind, at the time I’m hanging out in one of the healthiest environments in the world. Granted, it had only been five days and my body probably still needs many months of summer sunlight to heal and move past the 14 years of total destruction from growing up as a part of Generation Z in the age of technology. Nonetheless, my dopamine level was doing pretty well down there, but these “hurdles” didn’t just magically go away. Before artificial light and EMF’s, people still had loads of struggles, even if they weren’t struggling with chronic disease. Struggles seem to be a natural part of l…

   I needed something to help me get past this decision and procrastination to get me to the other side of my fears. So I volunteered to go in a deep dark hole for 24 hours to overcome the inertia of my choices and to avoid procrastination. I did it to raise my brain dopamine levels. Did it work?

    Next thing I knew, I was in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina for my full junior year, living with a host family, having a schedule in school that let me spend countless hours every morning sitting by the river Vrbas in the sun with only organic, grass-fed food available, sitting outdoors constantly at cafes in full-spectrum sunlight, visiting old castles and towns, participating in international high school conferences, going out and having fun, feasting at religious celebrations with my host parents and friends’ families, and connecting with new people like never before, raising my dopamine…
