Listen "Do You Really Want a Puggle?"
Episode Synopsis
“How many times in life have we had a conviction that we wanted or needed something? We saw it or heard about it, and immediately decided we would have it, possess it, or do it. No research. No questions. We just go out and accomplish it. And when we have it, we find out it is either more trouble than its worth, takes more care and attention than we have to give it, or it just doesn’t fit our lifestyle. Or it was advertised as something completely different than what it really is.”We may see a photo of a Puggle and think it’s so cute and cuddly. However, the reality of raising a Platypus isn’t. The same thing applies when we think we want something in our own Simple Life. One thing living a Simple Life means is that you are always learning and growing – through observation, research, and trying it yourself. You learn to be resilient and can adapt, change, and be flexible. You also aren’t afraid of scrapping your initial ideas and moving on to something different. If you want to make progress in life, you need to be willing to both learn and grow. Listen in as the conversation on the porch is focused o how you can learn and grow. In the process, you will also find ways to fit your own ‘Puggles’ into your own Simple Life.Send us a textSupport the showThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!
