The Secret War Against Fun, and How to Go AWOL from it.

The Secret War Against Fun, and How to Go AWOL from it.

“You can’t just have fun all the time!”

Really? And why the f*ck not?

(censored for FB and iTunes purposes. If you feel you’re mature enough to see the whole word, please let both companies know.)

Seriously. I used the word “f*ck” in that last sentence to express the absolutely stomach-twisting, face-mangling frustration I feel when I hear people arguing against having fun.

It just blows my mind beyond anything I can possibly put into words.

Literally, sit on your deathbed with me for a moment. Right now.

Don’t avoid it. Look me in the eyes here.

You’re headed for an ending of that body of yours, and everything you thought you knew is on it’s way out of your life.

Sooner or later, it all goes away.

So stop taking it all for granted! (including all the really difficult stuff…)

On Season 4 Episode 10 of Loius (Loius CK’s brilliant TV show), Loius complains about his heartbreak to an old man on the street.

The old man is Charles Grodin, and the blistering transcendence he dumps on Loius in the clip below will melt your mind and steal your ability to complain about the beauty and richness YOU’RE IGNORING EVEN RIGHT NOW!

Yeah. It’s devastatingly beautiful.

I’d really recommend watching it a few times, just to drink up everything there to feel.

You know you’ve worn those shoes before too.

Time to celebrate?

I sure am.

There’s not a single moment that a part of me isn’t celebrating. And I’ve been through some shit…some of which I’ve talked about, much of which I haven’t (yet).

Even my most difficult and traumatic experiences have been converted into gems of delight, mystery, and enjoyment that I’d never trade away for anyone else’s life.

That brings us back to that little matter of fun.

Fun never lies.

You know whether or not you’re having fun at any given moment.

I propose that if you’re not having fun, that you ask yourself exactly why not.

The answer will always be a version of one of the following:

1. You feel limited and restricted.

2. You feel frustrated.

3. You feel uncomfortable.

If you do feel limited, frustrated, and otherwise uncomfortable, have you chosen your situation?

If not, can you escape it somehow?

If not, can you enjoy it somehow, and make it align with your deepest desires anyway?

Can you steal some of your time and life back from it? Are you willing to?

The funniest thing is that you’ll very rarely get “Yes” answers when you ask yourself if you’re having fun.

Do you know why?

Because when you’re actually having fun, you don’t stop to second-guess and question what the hell you’re doing. You’re too bust having fun.

Get it?

Now that’s just ONE of the many extremely powerful tools and experiences I’ve built into the NGF Elite Training.

I’ve got the new live training almost ready to go.

I’ll send you the invite tomorrow, but mark your calendar.

Lance and I will be going live on Saturday June 20 for a special first look at the Elite NGF Training.

You’ll get a sneak peek into the actual elements of the training and adventure experience, plus get to try some of it out yourself during the show.

Next week, we’ve got something we’ve been working on since 2010, but I never thought we’d release it.

Turns out, this moment in history is perfect for it.

I’m not gonna tell you what it is quite yet, but get this:

It’s going to take you further than Leary, Crowley, Terrence Mckenna, and all the psychedelics in the world combined. (Big statement, I know. And we’re going to show you exactly how to back it up and prove it to yourself!)

Ok, I’m a little excited, so I’ll stop there before I tell you too much all at once.

If you’ve been waiting for a chance to work with me, I’d highly suggest responding to this email, or using the contact form here on the site.

This is one of your final notices/warnings, because the rare window of opportunity to work directly with me is about to close, except to a very tiny group of people. If you’re one of them, get in touch. Now’s your chance…

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Now get out there and have some fun!

And when you’re ready to kick back and relax into some mind-melting, hypnotic podcast excellence, get on over to the NGF podcast right here:

And leave a review!

It really really helps to keep us inspired, putting out great content, and working to help you expand freedom in every aspect of your life, so take a moment and help us out…

Enjoy,

-Garrett
