But then he made it vivid: if you tie your arm to your body and leave it there long enough, you'll never use it again. It's over for the arm. The same principle applies to everything. Your ambition, unused, declines. Your strong feelings, unused, diminish. Your faith, unused, decreases. It doesn't grow on its own. It doesn't maintain itself. Use it or lose it — that's the law. Jim believed the fundamentals aren't things you master once and move past. They're things you practice every single day or they start to fade. What skill or habit have you stopped using that you need to pick back up? | Jim Rohn
