DIY Day

So today is my absolute favourite day!! It is April 4^th, DIY Day.

We are living a different life of adjustments the past few weeks. And DIYs have become a major highlight for all of us. Especially for people who have ample help to support them with various chores on a normal day when there is no lockdown. DIYs which were once a luxury have now become a necessity.

Be it their day to day affairs, with watching children, cooking their meals, maintaining cleanliness in their homes or just random things.

In certain countries in the World there is a lot of dependence on others to do jobs for us like cutting our hair, baking cakes, fixing our cars, driving us around, and so on. There is no denying the helplessness we are left with when on our own.

I agree we are not experts in engine design to be able to repair cars or fix computers, but we can certainly bake our own cake, raise our own child, or do our own laundry.

So today on DIY Day, let us try to learn something new ourselves. What do you think?

And days like these where we are all home with nowhere to go are the perfect days to learn something new or get better at something. Is there something you can’t do or are embarrassed to do? Or something that you simply never learned?

I would like to share this very popular saying, “Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” So have someone teach you to change a bulb, or sew a button, or cook something more than instant stuff. Eating fresh, healthy food is far better than the supermarket bought processed, preservative food. Learn a foreign language that you’ve always wanted to learn or which helps you when you travel.

Be self- reliant and independent. It never hurt anybody and never will in the future too! I am learning to be even more self- reliant and even more independent.

Please do not make DIY Day the “only” day to start learning. Learning starts when you think of expanding yourself anywhere anytime, however today should be a good day to start. The first step is always the hardest but also the most important.

So change your life and take a step in the right direction.

Oh and while you are at it, grab yourself a glass of orange juice to celebrate Vitamin C Day too 🙂

Do not depend on anyone in this World because even your shadow leaves you when you are in the darkness!
