When I was a little kid, not even in school yet, I lived with my grandparents for a while. And they didn’t have a box or bucket or even a bag of toys for my brother and me to play with. But I remember my Grandmother would bring out her bag of wooden clothespins, some empty thread spools, and showed us how to “make it yourself”.
With a nail, a rubber band, and one of those empty thread spools, I can show you how to make a tank or bulldozer or steamroller. With a bag of clothespins, a footstool, and some end tables, I can show you how to set up a great battlefield where kingdoms are won or lost with the sweep of your hand.
Simple ingredients help you make it yourself.
You don’t need the latest app or video game to have a ton-o-fun. Sure, those can be fun, and you might want them, but you don’t need them. You only need an imagination. If you use your imagination, your whole world can be like a giant video game…and you can make it yourself. A broken tree limb becomes your magic walking stick that guides you to the hidden treasures of the world. A tiny triangle of paper becomes a football and two fingers become goal posts.
The best part is…when you make it yourself, there’s the lasting feeling of knowing it was all yours. You’ll develop skills with your talents, and you might even create a work of art that others want. Who knows? Maybe you’ll still play video games, too. But then…they might be the ones you made. Cool.
Make it yourself with a new idea
And a motor and a wire.
You never know who might love your work
Or who you might inspire.
