Hedonistic treadmill
Some adopt a philosophy of taking life easy. They do not relish sweating the small stuff and prefer taking the easy way out. Afraid of hurting themselves and burning out, they do just enough to get by. Make excuses, expect concession and enjoy living on borrowed time and glory.
When in trouble, they stew in their juice. Jump from the frying pan into the fire.
Why do they postpone the inevitable and fail to see it coming? Because their antenna is weak. They stay absent-minded and accident-prone. Dismiss early warning alerts. Do too little and expect miracles to happen.
Your coach helps you contend with reality and be a self-starter.
