I remember this day like it was yesterday… We had both just gotten off work I was wrapping up a few things in the house. Ryan was no where to be found. As I stepped outside I heard loud banging.. I of course followed the sound to find Ryan with his sledgehammer doing what he could to break up concrete we recently had someone pull up so we could fix our water spigot. It was an absolute impossible task it seemed… and I at the time couldn’t understand why in the world he was even trying.
As the weeks went on the pile became smaller until we were down to oversized slabs of concrete. He actually made a dent in what seemed to be an impossible task. He never gave up.
I would often ask Ryan why don’t we see if we can pay someone to help. I would get a similar response every time… we don’t have the money to spend on this right now. This farm has more important things we need to invest in and we can do this one concrete slab at a time. So I stopped asking and picked up a sledgehammer..
Moral of the story…Perception is everything… Pick up a sledgehammer and move those mountains 🏔️
