Relentlessly seek out intense experiences.
This relates to lesson #3 of Monday’s lessons and might stem from my natural fear of comfort.
The final moment of your day should never conclude without one of these 2 thoughts striking your mind:
- Damn that was awesome
- Damn that sucked ass
A dark, heavy cloud rolls through my conscious any time I realize I’m passing the day without feeling.
Feeling, not just ho-hum feeling, is what gives us energy, spice, zest, and spunk. It drives us to achieve, to persevere, and to try with everything we’ve got. This is why you hear of CEO’s who master the violin, or chess champions who become renowned consultants; energy begets energy.
They mastered one domain, and that contagious energy inspired similar dedication to their next endeavor.
When seated amidst storytellers at a watering hole, the people with the most life stories, whether good or bad, always seem happiest. They’re conciously living every single moment, making it theirs, and not just letting it slip by undetected.
Weed was created to numb your senses and let the moments creep by. But that doesn’t mean you have to live your life that way.

This post is fantastic… definitely makes me want to put a poster on the ceiling with two blank check boxes of “Damn, that was awesome” or “Damn, that sucked ass.” Well said.
