Canada to Brazil

Brasil.

That country, you gotta be careful. Cause it’s going to steal your heart.

And you’ll be dreaming going back to Brasil non-stop.



Sure, I almost got rob at gun point at a red light in Rio de Janeiro – never stop at a red light in Rio when driving a black on black Wrangler with a giant CANADA flag on the grille – but hell, it’s like a drug: you need a fix.



I drove from Canada to Rio de Janeiro, which is crazy enough. I went all the way down to the very tip of Argentina. I look at that now and I’m like "wtf who did that!?”



Never limit your potential.

This is the take-away of this article. Just listen to David Goggins and read his book if you need an extra dose of self-motivation.



Dream larger, ask for more from the Universe, cause I was just a kid working in a chocolate factory in a little shitty town outside of Montreal when I was 19 years old…and five years later, I was driving my Jeep with the top down, Taylor Swift loud and clear in the radio, on the beaches of Mexico.



Two years later Mexico, here I was riding the Jeep in Florianópolis, Brazil. How did that even happened, right!? I wasn’t born rich, nor did I make any drug money. Money was made from the oil and gas business in Alberta and the Yukon Territory. There it is. That’s one heck of an opportunity we got here in Canada. If you wanna grind, you can grind as hard as you want and get paid big bucks for the insanity of your work (such as installing pipeline at minus -39ºC). Five years plan is a real thing: you can make it happen. Most people don’t end up where they want to be in life because…they don’t know where they want to be.



I feel like the luckiest man on Earth. Heck, I’m 27 years old, traveled through the Americas barefoot in the sickest convertible Jeep. I’m the luckiest bastard on Earth, and I asked myself daily how can I give back this world. I received so much blessing.



Back to Brazil.

Should I start an english school in a favela? Start a coding school in Rio? How do I give back to humanity!



Those ideas haven’t left me. What is the point of gaining the whole world if one soul his soul? I’m quoting Mark in the Bible, because sometimes calling the supernatural into the natural bridges the gap of the 3rd dimension interaction to the 5th, and that’s what I need right now.



Jordan B. Peterson says that sometimes Men can only get through some life’s circumstances by employing terms such as Good vs Evil, because that’s the only thing left to talk about once all the dead woods has burnt. When there’s no more pretending, no more masks, when all the backstops of a mission has been crossed, only then we can enter the holy ground of Good vs Evil discussions. Because this isn’t something to be taken lightly. It isn’t a conversation for the casual men that never gone through existential suffering. I might not have war PTSD, but when you see 42 countries at a young age you see desperation, you see inequality, you see real pain, real misery, real slavery. All of that stays with you. You carry these things. And you experience Good vs Evil itself: You start to understand that you are actual the full spectrum of the good versus evil dichotomy. You are Jesus to Lucifer, that’s how low you can go. You’re Lucifer to Jesus, that’s how good you can be.

There’s a spectrum of goodness that’s available to do with this life. Travelling in a poor hood with a Jeep and travel gear that’s worth more than a few houses on the street you’re on driving down the demise of humanity, paved with the own collective amnesia of who we were called to be, is one heck of a feeling to absorb. It’s like, hell, what do you do about it?



And the more you are aware of it, the more you owe.



The point of this life isn’t about the Me. It’s about those kids in the favelas, those single moms in Africa, those kids in Vietnam. It’s about them. But until you reach the point of understanding that you are not it, you have to become It. You have to focus on yourself at all cost before even thinking about saving anybody else.



So what the hell do I do now. Canada is truly the paradise on Earth – we have it so good down here. I got brothers and sisters in Brasil that I want to help.



I am now back to Canada. I take this time to carefully craft my next five years plan of life. If you stick with it, you can do anything you want. Just have to be ready to make extreme life sacrifice, but hey, that’s the rule of the game. If you want exceptional result, you have to be willing to take exceptional actions.
