Read this like your life depends on it...

Hey dude…

I wanna talk about something serious.

Because your life literally depends on it…

Fair warning, if you recently lost someone or you can’t handle something dark then don’t read this. 

If you can and want to see where this is going,

keep reading…

Last Wednesday, my friend was at a boat party for her friend's birthday.

There were about 50 people on this boat.

As soon as she got on the boat, everyone offered her drugs.

They had about every letter of the alphabet you could think of…

She politely says “No I’m good, just gonna have a few drinks tonight.”

As the night goes on she was sitting upstairs when she hears the guy throwing the party freaking out and doing a roll call.

Turns out, one of his good friends who was super fucked up went in the water and no one could find him…

Since she was one of the only (semi) sober ones, she ended up diving in to see if she could find this guy.

Unfortunately, since it was nighttime and the lake was about 30 feet deep…

He never recovered.

One of those things you would never think would happen to you…

…right?

I know, I know.

You probably didn’t expect to read this right now.

But there’s a lesson in here…

The sad reality is that most people spend their whole lives ITCHING for the next time they can escape.

They work a job they hate.

Barely make enough money to live…

and the extra money they do have they spend it going out, getting drunk, and taking drugs to escape their current reality.

They’re stuck in a never-ending wheel of despair. Searching for a second they can come up to breathe. 

Aka - taking drugs. Drowning in alcohol.

Using substances to elevate their state of consciousness.

Drugs literally release serotonin – the happy chemicals in your brain.

It makes you FEEL GOOD. (Trust me, I know)

For a second…

Before you come crashing down.

But there's another way to elevate your state of consciousness...

And that’s by having a clear sense of direction.

A definite purpose.

It’s by having something to work towards. Something bigger than yourself. 

If you can find your WHY and get CLEAR about your why – everything else becomes easier.

It gives you a reason to wake up every morning.

It gives you a reason to override your low-level desires.

Sleeping in. Staying up late. Eating that fried chicken sammy. Skipping the gym. Popping that pill for no good reason. Not doing the things you know you should be doing.

And no – not because of what society "says you should do."

But what your higher purpose knows you should do. 

We all have a calling. An itching for more.

We all have an inner voice pulling us in a certain direction.

But when you ignore it and you don’t develop the discipline needed to endure the initial bit of discomfort,

you’re telling your subconscious mind that you don’t love yourself.

That you’re not worthy of receiving your higher gifts.

This isn’t to say every day is going to be smooth sailing…

I go through ups and downs all the time.

Almost every other day I question.

But whenever I'm faced with a hard decision or I truly feel lost I remember my why...

Freedom.

Time. Financial. Location. Spiritual. Mental. Creative and personal FREEDOM.

Unbound by society's grip.

When you let your lower-level desires beat your higher-level purpose you WILL enter a state of depression.

You get stuck in a cycle.

Never able to make any real change or progress toward your goals.

You settle for mediocre. You settle for that job that pays you just enough.

You settle for those 2 days off.

You settle for your allocated vacay days.

You buy a house because that's what "you're supposed to do"...

You gain more responsibilities...

…and before you know it... you’re trapped. 

Remember,

nothing that’s worthwhile is easy…

yet nothing that’s easy is worthwhile.

Anything that you want will take hard work, focus, and dedication.

So find your why. 

And remember,

If you walk with purpose and are able to put aside short-term pleasure for long-term gain…

You’re already ahead of 97% of people. 

Just keep going.
