Neurology is the ultimate 'capital' in life

Neurology is the foundation to happiness, motivation, relationships and much more.

Now onto the article…

So this is a lesson i’ve learned time and again over the last ten years. And I call it… “Neurology is the ultimate capital in life”.

The idea is that neurology is the supreme ‘edge’ in life. Because it is at the heart of what makes you happy, makes you successful, and it is what allows you to develop relationships with others better.

So it is the thing that you should optimize for over all else.

Which is a wisdom most folks out there will simply blow off. Thinking it is more important to optimize for wealth or experience or whatever.

They will learn in the end that they are wrong.

Neurology rules over it all.

Let me refresh your memory on what I mean by ‘Neurology’

Neurology is essentially the healthy functioning of your brain. When it is health, you are naturally happy and develop relationships with other human beings easily.

I explain in depth what neurology is and how I learned what it is the hard way in this article below, so i wont repeat it all:

Biomechanics and Neurology

But sufficed to say that if you have a very healthy neurology than in my view you are indeed a wealthy man. Whereas if you just have money but your neurology is poor, you will realize that you are in fact a poor man.

Because you will struggle with being happy. You will struggle with how to motivate yourself. You will struggle with deeper relationships. You will struggle with lots of shit.

How do I know? Because i was there. Multiple times.

And then I came back.

But what I realized is… is that this is the shit that happens to pretty much all human beings as they age. Except the ones that conquer these biomechanics.

An example of how lack of neurology makes you poor

A little while ago i was listening to someone tell me about a family of brothers and sisters who were all quite old at this point. Some in their high 70s and others in their 60s.

Most of them all lived in close proximity to one another. But they never talk to each other because they don’t get along.

And so despite the fact that the family should be the strongest bond you have in life.. for them they had basically thrown this in the garbage.

And this story is not unique. You literally hear of shit like this all of the time! Especially in the US.

I bet if you thought about it you probably know of folks that are exactly like this.

And so why does it happen? N-E-U-R-O-L-O-G-Y.

I learned this the hard way

How do I know that neurology is at the root cause of this, and not all the other shit that people commonly blame it on?

Because when i was at my low points the past decade I did the same shit. With members of my own family, certain friends, etc.

And now I look at all of that as being so stupid.

Did I have some type of philosophical revelation? No.

Did I decide to be different? No, the shit just happened.

My brain just got healthier. And now it’s pretty much impossible to piss me off.

I don’t hold any grudges and anyone I argued with earlier… I have no issues with talking to now. I even enjoy mending these bridges.

But I also mend them on my own terms… lol

In that if I think they did or said something that was wrong back then.. they will have to put up with the fact that the new ‘happy-all-the-fuckin-time-Ken’ can be a pretty annoying fucker to deal with. LOL

Because he is literally always in a good mood. And enjoys teasing people who take themselves too seriously.

Will they get bothered or annoyed by this at times? Perhaps.

But that is their own shit they need to deal with.

They are welcome to tease me back… and plenty do. But they will realize there’s something inside me that is like teflon these days.

That shit is neurology. And it is physical.

It’s not that i’m trying to be this way… it is that I have no choice except to be this way.

An example of how healthy neurology makes you rich

So these days I can say honestly that I just love life. I love the goals that I have, I love spending time with my family, I love waking up every day.

And I love the ‘hunt’. Meaning i still have so much shit I wanna do in this world and I know that it is the process that is the most fun part of it.

It’s not the money that motivates me. People that know me will know i’m a very simple dude. I’ve never cared about being flashy.

But it is putting in the hard work and doing hard shit that I enjoy the most. It is what makes me feel good. It is the shit you remember.

And i’m lucky enough these days to have the health and energy to do it. So i consider myself very ‘rich’ in what counts.

Closing thoughts

My goal here is to open you up to the idea that neurology is the ultimate capital in life. It is the shit that you are actually trying to optimize for after you realize that all the other shit was shallow.

It’s the shit that makes you happy everyday.

It’s the shit that gives you the energy and motivation to do hard shit.

It’s the shit that allows you to have healthy relationships with all the folks that you care about.

It’s the shit that you should protect over all else in life because when it goes all the other shit that counts goes with it.

And in the end… it is built on a foundation that is physical. And that physical foundation can be optimized by these biomechanics.

Which is why I like to say that “this is the shit that truly makes you rich in life”. And one day if you haven’t already… I think you will learn that I was right.
