There is no maintenance, only progression or decline.

We are always either moving toward our goal, or further from it. The idea that we are ever ‘maintaining’ or ‘sustaining’ anything is an illusion and shrouds our ability to see time and the changes of the world around us.

Energy is always in motion and is always being affected. By approaching our lives with this in mind, we can see that we either consciously move and direct our energy, or we don’t. Yet if we don’t move energy consciously, it’s not that it just remains in this permanently moldable state, it instead moves on its own through the power of our subconscious.

So what happens if we want things in our lives but don’t consciously put energy toward them?

They move away from us.

Whether it’s more happiness, a healthier body, more money, or more love, we won’t reach our potential without putting focused energy, time, and action into growing in these areas.

Sustaining is not enough. Nurturing and progression are the keys to keeping the things we want in our lives.

We must continue to push through the concrete to reach the sun.
