Finding your mission

I build muscle cars. Always nearly impossible goals to reach in the automotive world.

Try a lot of things and your mission will become clearer. Until then, it's just useless guesswork.

here's a pro-tip: make a giant list of goals, switch them around, sometimes knock one off and replace it with something else you didn't think of earlier, enough to fill a life-time. Then you don't have to sit and beg the Internet to find a new mission 1 goal at a time.

I tripped acid for the first time (not a heavy dose - just a little) with close buddies Saturday and had an epiphany about how misdirected my life was. I was laying on the couch - and I was trying to sleep - but I couldn't stop thinking about exactly what I was doing wrong and exactly what I needed to alter in my life. I had a clear sense of where my life was going on this current path, and I didn't like it. I felt an overwhelming urge to change my direction. I knew exactly what I needed to do.

I'm not saying this is good advice for everyone. I think drugs should be used cautiously. But I wasn't looking for answers; I didn't even plan on taking acid with them when I first arrived.

Additionally - the change I saw in work today totally shocked me:

I have been dealing with a fairly large issue at work for the last six months. It's been tearing me up. I've been sliding down a slippery slope. Today for the first time I made significant progress and feel like I've turned the tide. I feel focused and more confident in my life's direction.

I'm not saying you should do this, but it was completely unexpected result for me, and I'm very grateful that I was peer-pressured into participating. It's possible that a carefully-chosen dose of acid could be a serious catalyst for change in unexpected (and positive) directions. This is coming from a man who is not a drug-fanatic by any stretch, and who has travelled extensively without experiencing a similar clarity as a result.
