I think about this from time to time, how much I enjoy the challenge of fixing something, a project, etc. and the reward when it's done.
If you have ever taken Clifton Strength Finders assessment one of the themes people have is called Restorative: https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/252323/restorative-theme.aspx and I could not agree more.
"People exceptionally talented in the Restorative theme are adept at dealing with problems. They are good at figuring out what is wrong and resolving it."
"You enjoy the challenge of analyzing the symptoms, identifying what is wrong, and finding the solution."
"But what is certain is that you enjoy bringing things back to life. It is a wonderful feeling to identify the undermining factor(s), eradicate them, and restore something to its true glory."
I am guessing some of you have this as well.
I recently considered selling the boat because it's not being used as much as planned. My first thought was, "but what about projects, what will I work on?". I no longer tinker with my "weekend driver" BMW because there is nothing left for me to modify/change, so I thought about selling it.
Curious to learn/hear what others think.
