Riley’s Raw Thoughts: Does right or wrong even exist?
Something on my mind & heart:
Can you live your life in a “wrong” way?
Recently I was chatting with a friend and he said “you can’t do it wrong.” after we both went deep talking about current struggles, and triumphs we are experiencing.
That got me thinking…
Depending on who you ask – the answer of how to live right would change.
Some people hate christians, but they think they have it all figured out. Same with muslims. Same with jews. Same with atheists.
The rich man judges the poor, and the poor man judges the rich. The sinner the saint, the saint the sinner.
Duality, contrast, and contradiction are unavoidable in this life.
We are here to have a human experience – not a perfect one.
Otherwise what is the point of being here? If we were meant to have it all figured out there wouldn’t be a purpose to living and figuring it out.
After some thought I had one small caveat:
Wrong to me is living in a way that betrays myself.
- Saying yes when I mean no.
- Going through the motions.
- Lying to myself or others.
But, even then: the only reason I know that is because I’ve lived it, and decided for me it was wrong to live in that way.
So, was it really ever “wrong” if it lead me to know what was “right” for me.
Reply to this and let me know your thoughts.
What I am building & learning:
Right now I am in full on experimentation mode.
What resonates with me, with you, and with the others joining my side of the internet.
Over the weekend I had a great idea:
Have one community that is more general and appeals to those interested in unlocking their best mind, body, & spirit on their terms ASAP through “holistic” living.
And one that is specific to my passion and knowledge around psychedelic medicines & healing (including breath work) along with creating community for the retreats I run.
So, if you want to ditch the poison we consume that is destroying us mentally, physically, & spiritually… and start cleaning up your “diet” in each area: join holistic.
And, if you want to learn more about how to safely use psychedelic medicines for healing, transformation, and self discovery on your own or with a guide like myself: join psychedelic medicine family.
Either way – I look forward to supporting you in your healing, growth, and transformation.
P.S – Only 7 days until our October retreat. We have a few scholarships left, and affordable options for those wanting to come. Reach out asap.
How I recently won & failed:
Huge win! I had 5 people over the last week sign up for our October retreat (1 week away, and a few spots open if you want in!).
Also have had 4 sign up already for our November retreat. Plus my recent youtube video was the first to break 1,000 views. Momentum baby!
Recent loss. “your comfort zone will kill you.”
Sometimes even something that is slowly killing me can be comfortable.
Can you relate? Sometimes the things we do that sabotage ourselves can feel better than the things that would help us.
Recently I started sleeping, a lot. Like 10 hours per night.
How is that bad? Because when I sleep through those early morning hours I lose sacred hours for myself and my work.
One time becomes two, and next thing you know 10+ days of this pattern emerge.
Lucky for me – I broke it this week and am back to 7-8 hours with a balanced sleep schedule for recovery and productivity.
Also thank you to my buddy Spencer for the accountability & support.
Story & Lesson: Drastic times, drastic measures
Sometimes in life you need a kick in the ass.
One hard slap in the face.
A shove off the cliff.
Humans are stubborn – we usually only change if we have to.
What do you do when you know you need to make a change, but can’t seem to?
You shake some shit up.
I’ve done crazy things in the name of growth:
- drank magic tea in the jungle with strangers.
- moved across the country.
- left relationships.
- quit jobs.
Each time it has been a hockey stick like growth curve after.
I’ve seen this in other people as well.
How about you?
Where are you stuck at the moment?
What is the voice inside screaming that you are ignoring?
How are you avoiding change?
Got the answer?
Now do something about it.
Rip the bandaid off.
Eat the frog.
Dive in.
Drastic times call for drastic measures.
Something’s gotta change… may as well be you.
Enjoy the relief, and energy that comes with making the change.
Here to support you however I can.
