We spend a lot of money getting other people to do things for us—cut our hair, fix our cars and computers, mow our lawns, bake our cakes, etc.
There are things that we would prefer to have experts with knowledge and experience doing for us, like performing surgery or filling out our tax papers.
But more and more people are starting to agree that people these days have become too dependent on others and, as a result, too helpless when left on their own.
Sure, not everyone knows the construction of an engine in detail, but surely most of us could learn to change a tire on our own? Sure, you may be no Jamie Oliver or Martha Stewart, but surely you could manage to bake a birthday cake by yourself?
Not to mention it would probably be better than most of those bland store bought cakes anyway! So why not celebrate DIY Day by learning to do something new yourself?
The History of DIY Day
DIY Day was created just recently and 2016 was the first year celebrating it.
The history of DIY itself probably goes back to the beginning of time and DIY has actually got quite a fascinating history.
How to Celebrate DIY Day
Is there something you can’t do that you’re a bit embarrassed you can’t do? Maybe it’s something relatively simple that you just never learned? Whatever it is, take this day to make an effort to learn to do it.
The first step is always the hardest, but it is also the most important, so let this day be the day you take a step in the right direction and change your life for the better!
