In a kayak, when you stop paddling you drift. You don't just stay where you stopped, you actually drift; move away from where you left off and often drastically. On a bike, when you stop peddling you will coast for a while and then either fall over or brace yourself before resuming peddling.
In your life, when you stop doing the things that you know will move you forward, stop exerting effort where it really matters, and quit applying yourself in the direction toward your goals you will drift off course. Don't expect to "take a break" and remain where you left off, for you will drift off course. When you look up from your inactivity you will find that you have drifted far away from your goal, from your values, from what matters.
Don't get tired of doing what is right.
