What stops you from reaching the zenith? What could ever have the power to control or keep bound the greatest creation of the Almighty God—YOU!!
The answer is, or to be more accurate, one of the answers is, COMPLACENCY!!
An apple when not properly refrigerated decays sooner and becomes obsolete. A man or woman experiences decadence, like that innocent apple, when the virus of complacency assails him or her.
Ruben Gonzalez, the great champion in the sport of luge, along with his bulldog-persistence, never ever became complacent neither with his practice nor with his performance.
He started ever competition with a fresher mindset!!
People who are successful at any greater level and who are in the vanguard inevitably don’t lose their sense of who they were and what they did before they became what they are.
They always instinctively seem to know that their results depend mainly on what they do now and not on their merits or advantages.
They know at the back of their minds, what they are capable of and have accomplished but also that the present is a different and a new situation that they must overcome as a new man or woman.
Dear reader, be on the qui vive when it comes to complacency; never allow this fatal beast swallow your hard-earned success and to destroy the meticulously arranged and constructed stack of cards!!
You may be a man or a woman, boy or a girl just starting out on the venture towards the paradise of success. Just keep reminding yourself about this destructive thinking of being self-satisfied.
An apple can rot but not you or your life just because of a small yet the most malignant of habits!!
Discrimination is your weapon against complacency, as it is with every successful man and woman.
Winners always distinguish between what is good and what is bad; what is right and what is wrong; what is beneficial and what is pernicious, and certainly they eliminate this trait of self-satisfaction from their dictionary.
Start each project as a fresher and always have the mind-set that of a tyro. And face your challenges with alertness and reverence though you feel extremely confident.
Forget about your track record and even forget about your winning moments earlier today and keep going.
Be shielded from the “Complacency” syndrome and you will increase your chances of sustaining your success.
Yes success is important but more important is the retention of success and this habit will boost your chances apart from protecting you from slipping from your standards.
Riches is not just in money, it means a lot of other things as well.
Keep going beyond your limits habitually.
It is your moment to stretch to become rich!!
Wish you all the riches to come with God’s blessings
