Are You a Tractor Behaving like Car?

A few days ago, I was cruising down the highway at about 80 kmph, when suddenly, out of nowhere, a tractor shot across from a T-junction. For a moment, it was almost a T-bone accident in the making. My hands gripped the wheel, adrenaline pushed through my veins in time to avoid disaster.

With unconstitutional words whirling in my mind about tractors’ guy reckless driving I continued driving. Down the road a question kept circling in my mind:

why did I feel so much fear, while the tractor driver seemed so fearless?

And then it struck me maybe it’s because my car had more to lose. The paint, the polish, the plastics, all those “cosmetics” made me cautious. Meanwhile, the tractor was bare, rugged, unapologetic. It wasn’t worried about scratches or dents.

That’s when I began to wonder: are we, too, tractors behaving like cars?

Tractor vs. Car:

Have you observed how fearless tractors move on the road? Tractor is raw, nothing to loose. Have you also observed how car drivers are cautious to take a U-turn? Car has more cosmetics to loose, which induces a fear in driver to be cautious all the time. Time has come to reclaim our Tractor Nature in a Car-Centric Society.

The Problem with Car Mindset:

The car mindset is about polish, presentation, and protection. A car is built to look good, move fast, and stay flawless. But the very things that make it attractive also make it fragile. Every scratch feels like a loss, every dent becomes a worry. That constant need to protect its shine creates fear in the driver of risk, fear of damage, fear of losing value. In life, when we carry this mindset, we become overly cautious, living to preserve appearances we coated rather than embracing experiences.

The Power of the Tractor Mindset:

The tractor mindset, on the other hand, is raw and fearless. A tractor doesn’t care about scratches or dents because it was never built for perfection it was built for purpose. It moves steadily, unshaken by rough terrain, deeply connected to the earth it serves. The tractor doesn’t seek admiration; it simply does the work it was meant to do. In life, embracing this mindset means valuing strength over shine, purpose over polish, and truth over appearances. It means living grounded, fearless, and free.

Cosmetics Limit Cars, Rawness Liberates Tractors.

Built to Plow, Trying to Cruise: A Tractor’s Truth:

This brings us to a profound question: Are we what we are because of who we are? Or, are we just tractors, built for truth and resilience, pretending to be cars, obsessed with fancy cosmetics?

Deep down, we are all tractors. We are born with a raw, fearless nature with a purpose to dig in and do the work that truly matters. But society conditions us to put on the shiny exterior of a car. We cover up our raw edges, polish our personalities, and try to cruise through life, all while our true nature begs to get back to the earth.

Think about the last time you felt truly alive. When you took a risk, got a little messy, and acted from a place of raw authenticity? It’s time to remember our tractor nature.

The car is obsessed with the road aspiring to compete and get ahead of everyone. The tractor is always aligned with the earth, the truth.

Imagine a tractor trying to cruise like a car on the highway. It doesn’t feel right, does it? That’s what many of us are doing. Built for strength, endurance, and authenticity yet trying to glide smoothly just to blend in based on cosmetics conditioning.

The truth is: we are all tractors behaving like cars.

The Question:

So, ask yourself:

• Are you living like a car ? cautious, polished, afraid of scratches?
• Or are you living like a tractor raw, fearless, grounded in truth?

Maybe it’s time to stop protecting the paint and start plowing the fields you were made for.
