Got some free time this Saturday before the big game comes on ESPN? Get the materials for a new deck...and DIY. You can take the flat-screen out on the completed deck and watch the game in the cool of the evening.
The shelving that the wife wants installed in the family room. Take the specs to the friendly people at your local DIY store and before you know it, the whole project will be completed...by you. Probably before lunch.
Got a whole crowd coming over for dinner? Pull the DIY cookbook down from that new shelving the husband put up, and in no-time-flat you will be serving up a meal good enough to make it to the final round of "Chopped."
Here is a list of "Six Personality Traits to Admire and Acquire;" they come from an article by Brett Blumenthal, back in January of 2010. They are all...every one of them...DIY projects:
#6...Humility
#5...Integrity
#4...Sensitivity
#3...Genuinness
#2...Tolerance
#1...Selflessness
Have at it. Do It Yourself, and you will be an even better person than you already are.
Do It Yourself.
Here is how friend, Stan Abell (back in his BlueVine Collective days) said it:
Humans are on a life-long journey toward perfection, but not the A+ kind of perfection. Rather, the wholeness and fulfillment kind of perfection. Not the kind of perfection purchased by claiming and clinging to dusty creeds…but instead, participating in life-giving wholeness that comes from claiming, following, and perpetuating a message of hope, compassion, and unconditional love.
Have at it. Do It Yourself, and you will be an even better person than you already are. You've got plenty of time...it is, after all, a life-long DIY journey.
Do It Yourself.
Leonardo da Vinci (yeah, That Guy) wrote this:
Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works...Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.
Have at it. Do It Yourself!
