Tuesday’s Tip to Homesteading: Baby Steps are still Steps
March 9th, 2010
So how long before a child starts taking his/her first steps (at about 10 months to a year old) before you expect them to be in the Boston Marathon? Tomorrow?
If you think about it, that’s what we do to ourselves. We take huge leaps past some vital steps that are needed in homesteading. We think we need all the equipment, land, livestock and THEN we’re homesteading.
This is not the case. If we are taking ‘baby steps’ we’re still walking. If we are doing a little of ‘this and that’ we are still homsteadING. Notice the ‘ing’ – it is a process.
Only if we give up on the process do we cease stepping in the homesteading direction.
Keep walking, taking baby steps and keep working out that dream of homesteading. Don’t be so hard on your self if you’re at least taking steps.
EnJOY the journey!
Best Blessings!
