A few weeks ago my son got a crazy idea:
Let’s fix the garage door opener!
It hasn’t worked in years. But he found a video online with 15 fixes for your garage door opener, and he made me watch it.
And I agreed, yeah maybe one of those things could be a problem…
So we took the case off the opener and discovered that the plastic gears inside were all chewed up and no longer connecting to one another.
So we ordered parts on Amazon and installed them.
First, I installed them wrong. Couldn’t get the case back together properly.
Took it apart again and installed them correctly.
It took about 2 hours, and would have been faster if it was right the first time.
My point is, I wanted to teach my son that we can do a lot of things if we put our minds to it.
Even things that we may not know much about. Like automatic garage door openers.
And also—there will be setbacks along the way.
So now, our decrepit old garage has a working opener. Wahoo!
And you, *|FNAME|*, have this same opportunity.
Not to fix my garage door.
But to look at your life and ask yourself, what’s not working like it should be working?
And then find the resources that will teach you how to fix or improve on those things.
