Repairing

Build in Public Daily

In this episode, we delve into a topic that many of us can relate to - the struggle of fixing things around the house. I openly admit that I am not very skilled in this area, and it has caused me quite a bit of frustration. Just recently, my washing machine broke, and I found myself unable to repair it. Despite my attempts to seek assistance and order the necessary part, I ended up with the wrong one, further adding to my exasperation. The feeling of helplessness when faced with a broken appliance, coupled with the uncertainty of where to turn for assistance, truly weighs heavily on me. This is not an isolated incident; rather, it is a recurring theme in my life - one of my major weaknesses. It drives me crazy and makes me feel like a failure. I am constantly reminded of the tasks I should be able to handle but cannot. Even when I do manage to seek help and take my time, I still struggle in this aspect. However, I have come to the realization that it is perfectly okay to acknowledge my limitations and call upon a professional handyman to tackle these issues. I often convince myself that this approach is too costly, but when we eventually purchased a new washer, the immense relief I felt was indescribable. I now understand that putting off these challenges and needlessly burdening myself is unnecessary. Moving forward, I am determined to improve in this area. I want to overcome the habit of procrastination and make things easier for myself. It's time for me to accept that seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but rather a solution that allows me to relieve myself of unnecessary stress. This realization has sparked a desire within me to be better and face these challenges head-on.
