Why do men crave adventure?

Dopamine is a hell of a drug.
It will drive you to great heights
And great lows.
It leads men to success
And to ruin.
Dopamine is the reward center of the brain. It worked well when we needed to survive,
But what about in today’s time?

Adventure, much like refreshing your Twitter feed, provides some excitement in your life.
It provides something new.
This is the same as starting a new job. Eventually that new job becomes just a job.
You’re bored of it because you need a new dopamine fix.

Adventure and experience doesn’t need to be grandiose to release dopamine.
Even hunter-gatherers fell into routine.

Don’t consume content,
Create it.
Even entrepreneurship gets stale,
So treat each day with the newness of the first day.
Get off porn,
Meet people and experience them authentically.
Don’t watch sports,
Join a recreational league or play with friends.

For too long we have been consuming a fake human experience.
Every time is leads us wanting more, wanting something else.
There will never be satisfaction.
We’ve just never been able to put our finger on the source of our wanting.
It’s all dopamine.

The sooner you realize this, the sooner you can make it work for you and not against you.
The adventure is right in front of you, you just don’t think it’s good enough.
The sooner you enjoy the little things, the sooner you’ll enjoy your life.
