Don’t DIY Your Life: Health, Wealth, Happiness.
By Dr. Scott Zarcinas, Founder, 818: Unlocking Your Life.
I was talking to a friend the other day, who said he was ‘checking out’ some free personal development stuff, and a couple of online courses he’d enrolled in, looking for how to ‘be happier’ and ‘not worry so much about everything’.
He was hoping to figure everything out on his own.
Let’s face it, most people know what they want and what makes them happy.
So why do SO many struggle with the ‘happiness’ part, and living a life free of stress and worry?
I remember reading what one of my mentors said a while back:
Life is NOT a DIY project.

You Are Not a DIY Project
Here’s where you CAN do DIY (Do-It-Yourself), and where you don’t want to:
- DIY is great if you’re working on a hobby.
- DIY is great when you have as much fun in the ‘construction’ phase as in the ‘project is done’ phase. (Like when it’s more fun to build that cubbyhouse for the kids than have it in the backyard.)
- DIY is great when it’s not life-threatening. (For example, you do NOT DIY the car that you and your family drive.)
But your happiness and your well-being is too important to DIY—it’s not a hobby project.

What You Can Do: DIY Your Hobbies, NOT Your Life
The life you are meant to live (and your happiness) is too important for DIY—it’s not something you should regret.
Because DIY means that you constantly reinvent the wheel. It takes longer. The outcome isn’t as good as it would be with help.
DIY your hobbies. Don’t DIY your life.
