It’s been ages since I last performed a DIY exercise. I recently bought some furniture so I had a chance to get back at it. It was a most interesting Saturday afternoon I have to say. I realized I didn’t have any tools so I had to buy a screwdriver set and hammer from a hardware store few blocks away. I got down to it by flipping through the manual or assembly instructions to get an idea of how this bedside table was meant to look. I then began to work on it and about an hour later, I finished it successfully! I thoroughly enjoyed the journey and realized how much I missed doing DIY stuff. It all starts out with a challenge to accomplish, it’s full of the ups and downs of fitting or trying new combinations and it ends with a completed masterpiece. This is very similar to the journey of life, I reckon. To live is to journey through the ups and downs of experiences, relationships and events. To not tap out but keep living requires emotional health and strength which leads us to a specific end or completed masterpiece also known as happiness, joy and piece or a life well lived. The hour or life spent then makes sense as we look back and smile realizing it was all worth it.
I would love to hear any feedback, suggestions or stories about your own journey…
