It’s amazing how it doesn’t take all that much to keep me happy any longer.
This is a balance I have been searching for throughout my adult life.
However, I have been attempting to find that happy balance through means that just weren’t suited to me. I remember the first time I felt that I understood life balance was when I was young and using recreational marijuana. Using recreational cannabis allowed for a certain freedom to come over me. I could actually feel that love for my planet, my fellow man and myself. It was a curious feeling but it was one of the most authentic feelings I ever had. It’s too bad that I put away the recreational marijuana in favor of a power suit. Once I got into the corporate mindset, it was pretty much all encompassing. In a way, it had to be in order to survive. That feeling of unity and calm when using recreational cannabis was gone from my life completely. Decades went by before, on a whim, I shared what is now legal weed. That old feeling came rushing back and was just as authentic as it had been all those years ago. This shifted my perspective on how much my happiness was revolving around money and things. I saw in an instant that none of that was necessary. So now, I make a weekly trip to the legal cannabis dispensary near me. They have all sorts of legal weed options for me to try. There are also CBD products to choose from as well. Having access to legal marijuana has done nothing but improve my life and how I live it. I’m much more attentive to my family and have explored a passion for a specific aspect of my work that I never knew I had.
