The problem with success is that you can get too far removed from what made you successful in the first place. As a result, you forget about the reality of who you are and what it takes to attain a high level of ability. It’s why a longer path to success is most beneficial. It’s easier to have more gratitude for the arduous path and harder to forget about it as well. An easier/quicker path is easily forgotten and taken for granted. Comfort can skew the reality of life and complacency is death. Observe nature. Commune with God.
