Eating 5g Of 🍄🍄 In Colombia & My Weird Way Of Justifying Partying Hard In Jan

Last Friday night I ate 5g of mushrooms in the mountains north of Medellín.

Blue Meanies too… these things are small but mighty. They blast you into outer space.

Those who’ve eaten mushrooms will agree they get you excited about life.

You appreciate your human potential. You become giddy and enthusiastic.

Right now, I'm most excited for New Year's in Cartagena.

My friends and I have Dec 31st - Jan 7th straight packed with plans.

This is a first for me.

I usually go out on New Year’s but then go back to work.

Last year I didn’t go out at all. Didn't even stay up till 12. 😂

This year will be the complete opposite.

And that's fine.

Noow we're getting to the point of me writing this…

The shrooms thing was more of a hook to get you to read.

Time to bait and switch you. lol.

Alright - a lot of people have a fucked up relationship with New Year's.

Some people get wrecked, followed by pangs of guilt the following day(s).

Some people stay in and then get FOMO after watching their IG stories.

And “hustler” types will denounce the party altogether...

"Better to stay in so you can wake up at 4 am and CRUSH YOUR GOALS!!"

Problem: These people are acting like New Year's is important.

Fact: New Year’s is a regular day. You can do what you want.

There’s this sense that work in January is more valuable than work put in at any other time of year.

“January 2024? Don’t waste it… This is the first month of the rest of your life.”

The thing about work is that it doesn’t care when it gets worked on…

You can build a system in November that will set you up for a January of fuckery.

You can then make January a celebration of the work you put in months earlier.

Take shots of Don Julio with a massive grin on your face, knowing your business is growing without you.

OR spend January in a head-down grind. Let it be a celebration of your commitment to build while others play.

It's all up to you. Work when you want and play the game as you please.

NOW HERE'S MY CHALLENGE TO YOU:

This New Year’s, do what you want and stand by your decision!

If you want to stay in and build, then do it. But don’t fall victim to FOMO.

Instead, relish the feeling of progress while others are getting hammered.

If you want to party and go crazy, do it. But don’t fall victim to GUILT.

Instead, appreciate the freedom your past effort has gifted you.

Whatever you do, do you. God dammit.

Ignore all social and societal expectations.

Be an individual. This is how you will have a good time.

Those are my thoughts.

This was either a wise take or a weird way to justify partying.

Most likely the latter. I feel justified af!

Whatever your decision, I hope you feel justified as well.

Happy New Year 🥂 🍾
