Who do I want to be in this moment? Not what do I need to do today. Not what does the farm need from me. Those are fine questions. But this question is different. This question is about you — and it changes everything about what comes next.

You are not the same person you were three years ago. The things you know now that you didn't know then. The problems you solve easily that used to keep you up at night. You became this person — gradually, through the living of your life. That's The Becoming. And it's been happening to you your whole life whether you were paying attention or not.

In Spanish, when someone wants to know what you do for work, they don't ask what you do. They ask what you dedicate yourself to. Most farmers answer that question wrong. Not in the sense of lying — but in the sense of stopping too soon.

You set the goal. You hit the goal. And then... nothing. What if there's a different way? Goals push toward results. Quests pull toward growth. The becoming is the point.
