  &quot;Each little step you go up has its reward&quot;<br>For me that is what it&apos;s all about. We just bought a cheap but affordable house in the woods, in bad shape with moist walls and even mold-stains.<br>This is my project now to get it in good shape for our retirement.<br>And every little step forward (and even some steps backward) are feeling so much better than sitting on the couch and watching TV.<br>To know you achieved a goal all by yourself with your own two hands... that is what I call happiness and fulfillment.<br><br>Thank you so much for your channel. It keeps me sane throughout the week. Your relaxed and calm voice contains peace in itself.

  Hit the nail on the head with this one . We moved to the forest few years ago and my thoughts and thinking has never been clearer being away for the soup aka ( citys ) . We are spost to be grounded in nature it naturally heals us .

  I stumbled across your videos last week and have been loving listening to them to get me through the working days. <br><br>Me and my girlfriend are currently locking in to a few more years of grafting to save enough money to buy some land and build more simple life, I really like your ideas and outlook on life. New Zealand is one of our dream places <br> to try and set up our life&apos;s if we can find a way to move there from the UK,. Thanks for getting me through the last days at work I really go to another place listening to these videos!!

  What an awesome transition from &apos;locked inside&apos; to &apos;freedom outside&apos;. &nbsp;Life is way too short and you&apos;ve had that &nbsp;where you realise we are all just chasing that carrot on a stick and it is all just shite

  I like your definition of success. The progressive realization of a worthy ideal. May i just add one i heard recently.<br>Life has no remote control, you have to get up and change it yourself.

  Totally get you. My happiest times are in the garden pulling up weeds. ❤

  Your &quot;The World Feels Off...&quot; video came up on my feed first, then I watched this one... You did pick one of the most glorious nature places on this Earth to lose and find yourselves in... Continued blessings and happiness to you both.🌿✨️

  I don’t think your philosophical meanderings are odd at all. You speak coherently and lucidly on these matters of great importance.<br><br>I&apos;m from Golden Bay in the South Island, and my girlfriend and I have just spent several months studying and working in the Chinese megacity of Wuhan. The noise, pollution, and competitive culture all make me yearn to return home and finish building our tiny house on wheels. <br><br>Your channel has inspired me to document and publish our progress in video form. The combination of thinking/narrating and working on your own property really appeals to me. <br><br>Thanks for all the interesting content:)

  Gardening is spiritual for me, taking care of Mother Earth, providing and cooking, organic food, healing herbs and flowers. &nbsp;I live in Canada, rented house. &nbsp;Turned small backyard into gardens. &nbsp;Found a joy, I&apos;ve never felt in my life. &nbsp;Country girl, so miss it, trying to get back there, I&apos;m 67, but healthy and active, but very lonely in city. &nbsp;Afraid to go to hospital, are healthcare, so bad. &nbsp;They treat people different, according to status, just hurt me worse.
