In terms of human beings maintenance is a Slow Death because it allows no possibility for change or growth. You are just struggling to stay in the same state of mind, body, and spirit. Eventually you will slide backwards and lose your original position.
Much much better is to use that same energy to stretch and grow, to improve continuously , even if just a tiny bit. On the baseball diamond you put a few singles together and you may put a run on the scoreboard. Incremental improve adds up over time.
Crawl, walk, run but avoid standing still.
I coach for results and performance. What could you do with a coach?
