Passion on Disasternecessities

Today I’m looking out into the world and seeing a lot of passion in food storage.  That is an interesting thing to me.   Food Storage and Emergency Preparedness, Disaster Survival, Preppers, the whole thing seems to be something that should dwell in the realm of practicality.  How exciting is a basement full of Diasternecessities Freeze Dried and Dehydrated Long Term Food Storage, right?

Sure… that 72 Hour Emergency Kit you have in your car gives you peace of mind.  And the food storage in your basement gives you peace of mind.  Especially when you have a family, and you know how volatile things are in the world.  Heck… it just snowed in the Midwest!  And that is not what we are really talking about is it?  The real concern is that 29% of the population is considering armed revolution.  THAT is scary.  Not to mention health concerns such as H7N9 in China. 

But… practicality aside, I talk with hundreds of customers a week, and more than you would ever imagine… they have PASSION for food storage.    And not just out of FEAR.  We are fearful little human creatures a lot of the time, but Emergency Storage is something some people do out of love!

How is that possible?   I am a passionate person myself, but for me, Food Storage and Emergency Disaster Prepper Survival is much more about practically taking care of my children, my wife, my extended family, and helping the world be prepared to survive in the worst circumstances.  It’s not about fear… it’s about reality.

But for some people it’s about love!  Love for their family, yes, but also a love of what they are doing.  I think sometimes it’s an expression of doing something right.  You see that in some people.  If they are going to do something, they do it with all their hearts.  They do it openly, in love, and with passion.  If it’s collecting baseball cards, or developing an emergency food storage preparedness plan… they do it with all their hearts.

I admire people like this.  They make art from life, and nothing, not even pure practicality, escapes the passion of their artful love filled lives.  When you sink deep into who you really are, and find that touch of the divine, and bring it as an offering to the world… you are fulfilling every fiber of your being.  Sure, offering love and openness is painful, and there is no guarantee of reward… in fact, it’s pretty safe to same most of the time your efforts will go unnoticed and unappreciated.  That’s what makes an artful life so special… it’s not done for reward.  It’s done because of a passion of life and a fulfillment of our personal destiny.  And if Doomsday Prepping is your passion, and your destiny, then doing it all your heart is the offering you make. 

Please share your passions with me here and on Disasternecessities.  Let’s all make life a bit more artful, even in these troubling times.
