Resourcefulness
Being resourceful almost seems to be a lost art. My son, Judah, is studying resourcefulness this month at church: Resourcefulness - Using what you have to get the job done. That pretty much sums it up, huh? Sure, I know we’re all resourceful now and then. In a pinch or unplanned moment, we can get creative enough to use what we have to get the job done, but do we call on the power of resourcefulness at any other time?
Can you do your job, whatever it is, without ordering, creating or generating anything new? Recycling is one way to be resourceful… but I’m not talking paper or plastic… What would your next project look like if you really thought about resourcefulness and implemented it into the DNA of the project… from the start. And not just a punt or afterthought?
This Tic Tac video is brilliant. Being a musician, I’m particularly drawn to it, but it shows creativity and true resourcefulness. Instead of spending thousands on computer generated graphics, etc. they were able to make something wonderful out of, well… Tic Tac boxes.
I’m challenging myself to be resourceful on purpose and see what happens. How about you?
