We all want something. We go after it. We wish to reach the top and expand our possibilities as we ascend higher and higher. But whatever it is we try to achieve we can’t do it alone. Even if the time comes when the spotlight is on us and we finally have that breakthrough moment, there are many behind us who joined their hands to help us succeed when we needed that help. But we can get too busy being successful. Fear of loosing it can start creeping in. We have reached the top and we want to hold on to it, and suddenly our achievement becomes so fragile that we now need to protect it. Indeed, sometimes others want what we have, and the threat of competition makes us even more aggressive. In a split second we move from being a part of the world to standing against it. Our victories can test us even more than our losses. The bigger the win, the bigger the test. What are we going to do this time?
