Purpose
Purpose is a loaded word with a double meaning. If you are looking inward at your motivation to leave the city and go to the wilderness, you will have thought of your purpose. You will have thought about finding your purpose out
there among the trees and brush and the running rivers. When you leave your old
neighborhood for your land, the city streets and businesses will almost
instantly fade from your mind. The chirping of birds will replace the yelling of
people. The sounds will be wild animals expressing themselves to their fellow
animals at night, no cars honking, yelling, or screeching. You'll see the stars
at night in a spectacular display of diamonds in the sky. The word "traffic"
will come to mean the comings and goings of animals through the woods. You may
even get to know some of the wildlife on your land because most wildlife is not
dangerous or vicious.
You will wake up with a plethora of things you need to do. Your land is raw
dirt. It lacks irrigation, water, power, and the nearest market will most likely
be at least an hour away. But this is where you will find your purpose. You
aren't waking up for a boss anymore. You aren't cramming food in your mouth and
yourself into a car to make money for someone else. You are waking up for
yourself, to write your future, to make your living self-sufficiently. A new
horizon and the possibilities for your land are limitless.
