When things are going well, be wary. Now that you have something to lose, it is vital to be careful. Or else, all that you have gained could be gone.
Do not take what you have for granted. It can always be taken away. Sadly, human beings tend to realize their blessings only when such are absent.
Gaining is not as hard as maintaining. Once matters start moving in a positive direction, keep them that way. Resist the temptation to rest and relax.
If you reach a goal, then set another. Contentment is a slow means to a dismal end. We must constantly struggle against the tendency to stop.
Expect that everything will fall apart. You will be more apt to see the dangers coming. It is easier to prevent problems, than to deal with them later.
Cherish your achievements, but do not rest on your laurels. Do not let a single milestone be your final destination. Know there is so much farther to go.
Indeed, keep moving forward and always strive for better. Don't sit idle when you can take the next step.
ReplyDeleteIf you do not keep moving forward, you will eventually stop. What has been gained can so easily be lost. Do not be the one who starts with something only to end up with nothing.
DeleteWhoa! Be careful what you hold onto as well! People tend to get attached to things as a matter of personal comfort. Be prepared to adapt. Humans are built for adapting.
ReplyDeleteThat which we have should not have us. If something becomes a problem, then get rid of it. You will be fine when it is gone.
