If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
But, at the same time, if it can break, don’t forget to maintain it.
Too many of us live reactively in the world. Running from one broken situation to the next, exhausted and frustrated. Possibly because ain’t nothing wrong with any of it until of course… something is…
But, if we spent a little more time living proactively… and walking mindfully in our houses, businesses, and amongst our belongings and relationships… looking for things that are vulnerable, weak, or susceptible to getting damaged or broken… we might be able to prevent so many more “brokens” in our life.
Because here’s the thing: just because it ain’t broke, doesn’t mean we should ignore it.
When in fact, a little maintenance is precisely how we keep things from ever getting broken in the first place.
