Ex-NFL Player Gives Up $37 Million Contract To Farm [Video]

Ask yourself, "am I really doing what I love?" If the answer is "no," why? St. Louis Rams center Jason Brown found a new passion, he was told it was the biggest mistake of his life, but he loves it.

Jason left his multi-million dollar NFL contract to chase his new passion of being a farmer. He purchased 1,000 acres of farm land, and is on a mission to feed Louisburg, North Carolina residents who are hungry.

His farm is called "First Fruits Farm," and he donates the first fruits of every harvest to area food pantries. He says the plan was inspired by God, and he believes a life of service is more fulfilling than his previous work.

So, how did he learn to farm? Easy, YouTube! Jason Brown never farmed a day in his life, but says he spent some time with local farmers and YouTube to learn everything he needed to know.

This is so inspiring, on multiple levels. On one, this man found a new dream and chased it. I'm sure it was easier to purchase the land with the money he earned from the NFL, but remember, he also chased his dream to be an NFL player. Talk about a driven guy. There's something we can learn from him, the impossible is possible.

On another level, he's using his new passion to give back to the people of his town. He's literally creating, giving, and loving it.
