How to avoid a breakdown

The fastest way for anything to deteriorate is to avoid working on it. Your mind. Your body. A relationship. A skill. A closet.

Things are maintained through hard work and improved through even harder work.

Look for reasons to work, not to avoid it. Jump at the opportunities. Create them too. Actively search for labor that solidifies yourself, your environment, and the things you care about.

This is as much about identity as it is about action. Are you a person who avoids work or a person who values work?

Everything is training for something. Do the work.
