Expand on success
One of the biggest threats to success is success itself. When
you get a little bit ahead, it's all too easy to become
complacent and to quickly lose what you have gained.
To avoid that complacency, respond to success with gratitude
and humility. See your success not as a reward, but as an
opportunity.
If you merely consume your good fortune, it leaves you with
nothing but a bitter and wistful taste in your mouth.
Instead, seize the opportunity to expand and build on your
success.
The real joy of accomplishment is in the doing. To continue
the joy, continue the doing.
Let the small victories become steps on the path to an even
bigger victory. Let the big victories become steps on the
path to an even more grand achievement.
Make each success into a starting point. And there is no
limit to where you can go.
