Elk meat, in my opinion, is the top tier, man. It's not just food, it's an experience. It's super delicious and extraordinarily nutritious. When people say it's gamey, I think that's more about bad prep or care after the kill, not the meat itself. I mean, if you think about it, when you're eating elk, you're literally eating a super athlete. And if you take down one elk, you've got hundreds of pounds of this amazing meat that you can feast on for months. My favorite way to cook it is slowly and seared on the outside - elk meat doesn't have a lot of fat in it, so it can dry out if it's overcooked. I've been on this kick where I'd eat kimchi and elk three, four times a week and I feel amazing. So yeah, I'm a big fan and advocate of elk meat.

Well, man, I'm of the mindset that life isn't just about having fun all the time or being lazy. Let's be clear, I love a good time, but the reality is that hard work and discipline are the tools that can truly launch you to a better place in your life, in your mind and even your heart. This is not about dismissing the importance of relaxation and leisure - they’re crucial for maintaining balance in life. However, just coasting through life won't get you the growth, improvement, and self-fulfillment that comes with ambition and effort.

You could choose to sit on a beach and drink beers, sure. But in doing so, you need to ask yourself questions. Is this going to help you become a better person? Is it going to help you contribute to your society or your community? Is it going to make you feel fulfilled and satisfied in the long term? In my experience, the answer is a resounding no.

You'll often hear me talk about the concept of balance, and life is much the same. Too much work can burn you out, but too little can leave you drifting aimlessly without a clear purpose or direction. Finding that equilibrium is key.

The hustle and bustle that people endure isn't counterbalanced well. We should praise hard work, of course, but it shouldn't come at the expense of everything else in your life. Financial success is one thing, but you need to put matters of the heart, your relationships, your passion, and your community at the forefront too.

You can find joy and satisfaction in working hard, especially if it's something you're truly passionate about. It's not always easy, and at times it might even be outright uncomfortable. But as I've found in my life, hard work is often the primary engine behind genuine growth and self-improvement. So, better buckle up and embrace the grind. Who knows, you might even start to enjoy it.

Man, I get it. Feeling lost, it's a universal experience but also a singularly personal one. But hey, remember it's fine to be afraid. That's part of life, and more importantly, part of growth. Now, what I'd say is, start by engaging in something you really love — something that tunes you in, that makes you feel good. Don't worry about the negative part of it, just chase after that thing with everything you have.

Change your perspective, man. Don't let other people dictate what you have to do. Listen to yourself. There might be a path out there just waiting for you if you figure out what you really like to do. Don't worry about taking a detour. Even if it turns out to be the wrong direction, you're still gaining experience, still learning something about yourself and the world.

Sure, there's a kind of existential discomfort that can come with having everything and still feeling miserable. But guess what, life's about more than flashy cars and big houses. Find fulfillment in the struggle, in the process of moving forward, in the pursuit of a goal. If you're at the top of the mountain and you're still not happy, maybe it's time to find a new mountain. Pick up a hobby, something you're a total beginner at, and try to get better. It might be the start of a whole new journey for you.

And you know what else? Invest in your own inner work. Consider taking some time off the grid, maybe even go live in a monastery if you're drawn to that. There's something liberating about shedding all your worldly belongings and the day-to-day nonsense, and just being present with yourself.

But remember, pal, there's no one-size-fits-all answer to this. Everyone's journey is different. The most important thing is to stay true to yourself, to seek out what resonates with you, and to keep moving forward. Even when the path feels uncertain, every step you take is a part of your story.
