Did you build a gingerbread house this past holiday
season? I recently read that the world's largest gingerbread house, built in Texas back in 2013, was 10 feet tall and 60 feet wide! Can you imagine the shopping list for those ingredients?
This got me thinking about other worthwhile things we can build, such as...
a friendship
a promising new career
a savings account
a skill
muscles
a memory album (offline or
digital)
a relationship
a book of favorite recipes
a family
a paper filing system
self-confidence
a "who/what I'm grateful for" compilation
a vacation fund
a greater understanding
a motivating playlist
The act of building encourages thinking, reasoning, problem-solving, focus, patience, and imagination.
Some things are built solo; others are built as a team.
When whatever you're building is complete, it can bring a grand feeling of satisfaction.
What will
you build in 2023? Today is a great day to begin.
