Clean as you go;
lesson I've come to know
a motivation I soon hope to grow
stop letting things build
letting corners be filled
left with problems and nothing to show
don't sweep under the rug with a light shoulder shrug
take the time, an often forced tug
take care of it early
before bruises turn burly
with cost out-weighing your pro
a ride in the rain
weathers your chain
and plugging a leak
leads other things weak
If you love it take care
neglect leads to wear
or the best fix may be letting go
Something I've been struggling to solidify in my day to day life is addressing problems when they first arrive. Brushing things off and letting them build only exasperates the problem. It's not just bike maintenance, or car maintenance, or keeping a clean house. It's keeping a clean mind, clean relationships, and having a better quality of life. It can be hard to want to stop what you are doing, or push when you are feeling lazy. However, addressing a problem as it happens and staying motivated to see it through, will always pay off in the end. Don't let something you care about slide into degrade and become a burden that needs to be trashed.
