I love Alaska shows, especially “Life Below Zero”, because it makes you question if you yourself could really live in that extreme environment. Now I’m sitting in Texas at 103 degrees with AC on full blast. But the question still bakes, could you survive? What are you willing to do and if necessary give up to survive? For those of us that remember the Oregon Trail game who made it to the end? Is it Darwinism at its finest? Would and could you be able to adapt to survive to a new environment? Think of the extreme Alaska show and everyday real life.
Maybe it’s the idea of rolling up your sleeves and doing whatever it takes. Holding yourself accountable for what works or what doesn’t. I’ve never had to hunt for food, but would I do it if necessary. Yes, I believe most of us would. Would it mean stepping outside the comfort zone? Absolutely, but who would be willing to do that? Who takes the first plunge?
I enjoy growing my own fruits and vegetables and seeing that labor and time pay off. The rewards are satisfying. Each year I use different techniques and sometimes they pay off sometimes not. But you never stop learning and improving. Again would you be able to do whatever it takes? What is your limit? Each time you do something different or push yourself it’s an adventure.
For the record I’ve been skiing once in Colorado 25 years ago and went back to the condo early to fix myself a baked potato because it was too cold outside. I like the idea of snow and a house with a fireplace. Maybe in the future. I wonder if Amazon prime ships out there. I’m looking forward to fall for now and that’s it.
Courageous Perseverance
