Whenever something unfortunate occurs, it’s common for us to ponder the reason behind it. Well, that is not why it is all about life tracking.

This article reflects my almost 89 years of living on this planet. Errors, mistakes, failures, and accomplishments. An ordinary life!

I intend to give the reader some ideas about piloting the turbulent sea of life. The good news is that you can do it! The problem is how?

Steering the sea of life is like navigating in a sailboat in the ocean. Among many, you must learn the sailing technique of tacking. Tacking is a maneuver to change course by turning a boat’s head into and through the wind. It would be best to do that often since the wind changes frequently. It is a tricky maneuver to do! It requires much practice under an expert sailor; otherwise, you might sink.

Think about one thing that you cherish in your life. You worked very hard for it, and finally, you got it. Has it measured your expectations? Your reaction could be What a disappointment? Or I failed? Or lousy luck? I suggest instead doing Life-Tacking!

Life-Tacking uses the results of your actions or behavior to change course by turning you into and through life’s misfortunes. In other words, follow the advice of Irving Berlin’s song “Let’s Face the Music and Dance” (1). If you do so, you will understand what I mean. https://youtu.be/Yy4QPRbTBE8

This piece is all about facing the results of your actions. It is not how to fix the past because that is gone; it is not the future because that is not here now. It is about the present.

My name is Julian L Sevillano. I am the Executive Director of this space that aims to disseminate pertinent information about the human brain, emphasizing brain neuroplasticity and the tools that can help us weather our circumstances. My mission is to bring some hope regarding the dilemma of people of all ages. And the difficulty is because we not only have to fight with problems that our condition brings but also with what adaptation to the results of the pandemic and the so-called "New Normal" entails. Notice to the reader that I said "our condition" since I just turned 86! I continued my studies at Harvard Extension School in Fundamentals of Neuroscience. I obtained Certificates in the Electrical Properties of Neurons, Neural Networks and Neurons and The Brain. I previously studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and graduated with a bachelor’s in accounting and economics. I am the Coordinator of Neurocognitive Research Programs for Seniors—I-Function, Inc. (University of Miami School of Medicine start-up). I am a Consultant at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience and Aging. Miller School of Medicine. University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida. I also work as a Neuroplasticity and BrainHQ Posit Science Certified Brain Adequacy Trainer at brain training centers located at the Village Activity Center in Key Biscayne, Florida, at the City of Coral Gables, Florida Activity Center, and The Palace Coral Gables (self-contained accommodations and services for seniors) in Coral Gables, Florida.
