Entropy means things fall apart by default.
Your body doesn’t stay strong on its own. Your business doesn’t stay profitable on autopilot. Your relationships don’t stay aligned without attention. Your systems don’t stay clean unless you maintain them.
Decay is the baseline.
Growth is the rebellion.
This is why you never “arrive.” You’re never done.
There is no maintenance mode in life—only construction or collapse.
Skip the gym long enough and muscle and strength drains. Ignore your work and relevance fades. Neglect your kids and distance grows. Stop learning and the world moves past you.
Entropy doesn’t announce itself. It works quietly, in the background, stealing your edge a day at a time.
So you train. You sharpen. You clean the systems. You rebuild the habits.
Not because you’re broken—but because the universe wants to tear things apart.
You don’t fight once.
You fight every day.
