If your life is going the way you desire, regular tune-ups will keep you on course. If, however, your life is not going the way you planned or desire, you may need an overhaul. If you discover upon inspection that you are limping along at low energy levels, you may need a simple tune-up. If you can get started but have a difficult time stopping, you may need a brake job. If you can’t get started at all, your engine may need to be overhauled. If you get started but cannot shift to go forward or backward, you may need to have your transmission overhauled.
We are much like our vehicles. Sometimes we move through our lives with very little problems, seemingly maintenance free. Then there are times when you know you simply need a tune-up or routine maintenance, a few days off, a little more sleep, a slight change in diet, or a little more exercise. Then there may be those days when you just cannot get started, you find yourself on a wrong course and cannot stop, or you get started but have no strength to move forward. It is on those days that you may want to consider getting an overhaul.
Mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual tune-ups prevent breakdowns, but in the event of a breakdown in either of these areas, overhauls are generally available. Being disciplined for success helps us to spend more time on the journey and on the mission than in the repair shop.
