The other night I was attempting to put up a towel bar in my bathroom and ran into a small dilemma. I mounted the brackets on the wall about 2 inches shorter than the actual length of the towel bar. I had 2 options: 1. Unscrew the brackets and remount them leaving some pretty big holes, which would have to be fixed 2. Cut down the towel bar so it would fit to the brackets already mounted on the wall. I choose the latter, however, I am a basketball trainer, not a carpenter so needless to say I don’t exactly have the proper tools. I marked the line on the towel bar and chose a butter knife to cut through the stainless steel, which took about 45 minutes to complete. My point is not that I cut through the towel bar, but that when there doesn’t seem to be a way find one. Make use of what you have. You don’t need a gym to workout in. Use the driveway, the sidewalk, the tennis court or garage. Be persistent. I know for a fact that if I had not gone through what I did on the basketball court I would have not cut through the stainless steel. 95% of what I know about life and the qualities that I have as a person came from what I learned on the basketball floor. Think about that the next time someone is trying to push you outside of your comfort zone!
