I’m a very, very competitive person.
This may just be the way I’m wired but I can’t remember being any other way.
And my parents really encouraged all that competitive fire. But what I’m learning as an adult is that some legal weed can certainly help a person not burn right out. That’s the thing about being so competitive. It’s a fire that burns and burns. Yet, there is only so much burning a person can stand. By the time I hit 30, before trips to the cannabis store, I was sort of burned out. I’d excelled at just about everything I tried. Killing it at my job, sports and all of that was great but took so much energy. And all that competitive fire also left little in the tank for interpersonal relationships. I just couldn’t figure out why I’d fall in love but it would never last. Well, I was just to focused on competing in all the other aspects of life to realize that I needed to feel. My current girlfriend turned that around for me and she introduced me to legal cannabis. She was actually my yoga instructor and was one of the first people to ever tell me to dial it back and just be at peace. One day after yoga, she invited me to the legal weed store because she thought some recreational pot just might be the thing that would help turn me around. She was right. That one trip to the cannabis store was the beginning of me finding a balance and a peace to life. It’s just extraordinary what a difference it’s made. I’m also even better at competing because I’m not taking things so seriously and just being more natural. The fun has come back to competition for me.
