Where do we go from
here? I mean once you have experienced a certain level of success how do
perpetuate and then advance? The boys and I frequently had conversation
about how we can advance in the level of success that we have all experienced. I
would always say that I have learned how to lose when I’m winning, I have
learned how to lose win I’m losing, and I have learned to win when I’m losing,
but I have yet to learn how to win when I’m winning. I am not a believer
in the statement that "success breeds success"; not at all from my
experience success tends to bread complacency. Not many of us out here
have the drive to improve on the success that we have experienced, we tend to
rest on the things we have done and take those accomplishments as completion. The
greatest feat is to repeat success, to have the mental strength and drive to
remain consistent in your efforts to be great.
Life doesn’t offer many
opportunities to rest on what has been done in the past; life is a progressive
force that requires adaptation and effort. We must continue to move
forward in order to survive; standing still is the same as walking backwards.
So how do we reproduce success when the things that made us successful
the first time aren’t the same things that will guarantee success this time? It’s
those who possess an almost obsessive work ethic that seem to be the ones maintaining
the highest level of success. Your level of effort or amount of work is
one of the only things you can completely control while on the pursuit of your
goals.
I’m going to take the
time to reevaluate my efforts and make certain that I am doing all things
possible to increase upon the level of success I have attained.
