RE: An Open Letter On: The Importance Of Loving What You Do

in #life7 years ago (edited)

@freemrktfarmer - The following really caught my attention

  1. Love what you do
  2. Invite others to be a part of it

I am in a time of transition right now, and I am trying to find a new "love what you do." I really want something that my wife and kiddos can be a part of. Life is better spent in community, instead of in isolation.

Thanks for the great story and practical reminders.

Thank you for the kind words. Farming wasn't originally what I set out to do to be honest. It started as a hobby gardening in the backyard. That grew into trying to grow 50% of our food per year, then 75% and so on. To me, the appeal was really in the lost art and nuances of the skill that has been largely replaced in most of the industrialized world. It paired nicely with my passion for water conservation and just kind of blossomed. The family grew into from my wife's love of homestead blogs haha. She kind of romanticized the lifestyle so it parlayed nicely.

I hope you find your new "love what you do" and would be happy to help if the need ever arises!

Best wishes
