Harvard Professor and Neuroscientist, Dr. Andrew Huberman says, ‘Dopamine is your greatest currency.”

I was tired of being indecisive. A lack of clarity made me feel like a victim. I was chasing after my goals and an income for all the wrong reasons.

The change came from Neuroscience in a moment of self-discovery when I surrendered control, and became present-minded, almost carefree.

It was a conscious decision. It was intentional.

This caused my brain to release Dopamine, the neurotransmitter known as the ‘happy chemical’ that comes from the reward centers of the brain. We feel a sense of satisfaction and are more motivated.

Dr. Huberman says you can be a multi-millionaire or have just two dollars, but the happiness you feel comes from inside.

I had been stuck making a life-changing choice to try again in my later years to work as a flight Attendant.

Yawn, back and forth I ruminated, regretting that I had quit while meanwhile, I just kept getting older. Thoughts of ‘if not now, when?’ pressured me to live bigger, faster.
