Skiing ⛷ was/is my THING 💯
Telemark Skiing to be exact (but I also taught people how to Alpine ski)…
But the thing is… I haven’t been in 3, going on 4 years!!! 🤯
3 fu***ng years!!!!! Seriously… this is a lot for someone who spent the first half of their life skiing everyday, literally 100 days out of the year…
I skied SO MUCH, I built a whole identity around it … I thought skiing made me who I was…
But as I got older, being 27-28 trying to still be the ‘heady skier dude’ drinking Bloody Mary’s at noon in the ski lodge started to wear on me…
Call it grace, call it time, call it whatever… but no longer did skiing ⛷ give me purpose…
THAT LIFE PURPOSE ~ of going within and confronting our shadow self 👹
Dealing with the drugs, the alcohol, the avoidance of life, depression… all of these a direct result of the things I had identified myself with. 💯
The jobs, the sports, the music, the girlfriends, the politics, the list goes on and on… all were real, but none were truly me.
Letting go hurts, but it’s necessary… funding freedom from this matrix, and helping other people do the same gives me purpose 🙏🏽…
And I CAN NOT WAIT, to go skiing again… and just be ‘A cool dude who enjoys the sport and is grateful for life…’
Rather than ‘THE cool dude who shreds and will tell you all about it…’ There’s a big difference between the two!! 🙏🏽⛷🌄
Grateful for life, the realizations, and the opportunity to share 🏔🏔🏔
