Day 889 of the Adventure
I saw this the other day and it was too irresistible to ignore. "Agenda 2030 - You will own a farm and you will be happy". I'm not sure that everyone is cut out to own a farm. In fact, I'm not sure that I am cut out to own a farm......... In fact. I'm pretty sure that I'm not someone that would take to traditional farming as we know and understand it. I am, however, pretty sure that I'm very comfortable leaning into a rural "farm type" of lifestyle. I tend to refer to it as a "Self-Sufficient" kind of life. One that does indeed represent a close attachment to farm living. However, to each his own. What suits me will not suit everyone and that's the best part. It shouldn't. The important thing I get from this idea is that if you dream it and have not yet taken any steps towards it, maybe it's time to do something now.
January 1, 2030 is a mere 2,125 days away. That's roughly 5 years and almost 9 months away. Of course, you can place your own date and deadline on it for certain. It's just that 5 years is a comfortable time frame to accomplish something significant. By the time 2,125 days drops to under 2,000, we will have been on our "Back to the Land" journey for over 1,000 days. 1,015 to be exact. How do I know this? We've been keeping track of the days since we closed on our "Campfire Trail" land in this blog. Which is a little over two and a half years. Obviously, the dream started for us some time before that. It was almost always on our radar but only became a serious goal about six months prior to pulling the purchase trigger on our land.
I've long said that most people over-estimate what they can accomplish in one year, but far under-estimate what they can achieve in five years. I'd like to issue a challenge to anyone and everyone who dreams of a "Back to the Land" life. If you have not yet taken any steps towards that reality, choose to do so today. Use a five year plan as a roadmap and begin moving in that direction. Would it be worth it to you?
If the whole process seems un-achievable or out of reach, choose to look at the fact that you have 2,125 days between now and 2030. Vow to do something, no matter how big or small each day, that moves you in the direction of your dream. We recently published a book which breaks that whole process down into bite-sized pieces. It's also available in a "no-charge" video series on our YouTube channel if you feel the cost of the book is too much. (Link to the Book) (Link to the Video Series)
I wish you the very best on the achievement of your dream. 2,125 days is not as long as it feels and it can be especially exciting when each day represents another day closer to the reality of that dream.
