The hammer and the chair

Let’s say you have a hammer. And a good one at that. The best one on the market. You are kind of in love with it because it has great a back story. Your best friend knew how much you love a good hammer and got you a really fancy one with your initials engraved on it. It even came with a wooden box. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that your hammer is the only one of it’s kind.

Now let’s say the same friend heard about the back problems you’ve been having recently working from home at your dining table. She sends across a wonderfully easy to assemble ergonomic office chair to your place. (What a thoughtful friend!)

My question is- Can you use your world’s best hammer to assemble this chair?You’d probably need a screwdriver, right?

That’s how all tools work. They are amazing as far as you use the right tool for the right job.

There are many tools we use in our daily lives- meditation, different forms of exercise, the food we eat, the books we read, essentially everything we do or use to improve our lives is a tool. The question is- where are you using a hammer and wondering why the chair parts are getting smaller instead of coming together?
