Maintenance Manual

"I want a house with no maintenance (or low maintenance)."

That's something I hear often. Unfortunately a house with no maintenance does not exist and a house with "low" maintenance will be different for everybody.

Everything worth having in life requires maintenance.

Sure, you could avoid the maintenance but that "thing" will quickly loose its value.

Homes, properties, vehicles and toys all require maintenance. It's obvious and they come with maintenance manuals.

But what about the other things in life worth having?

My relationships.

My body.

My mind.

My soul.

There is no step by step manual for these items but there are obvious signs. And if I avoid any one of these categories, the others will suffer.

If I'm honest with myself, I know what I need to work on.
