Success
Success is only the beginning of a new set of challenges and life lessons. When success enters the picture a new reality is created and the game board shifts. The challenge is to keep your balance rearranging the pieces of your life to make space for your new reality. Dealing with such changes is the unexpected fine print at the bottom of every dream realized and as every new level of success comes about. You will need to make your way through the happy rewards, the new responsibilities and the surprising and unfamiliar landscape that success brings.
Success merely changes the game. Old concerns, monetary restrictions, cramped living or work space, freedom concerns, doubts, fears or insecurities may vanish. New concerns appear and present challenges you may never have imagined under other circumstances. Regardless of how you feel about them, these changes require your attention to ensure your new found success is not undermined by your own hands or by other's reactions.
Your identity gets slightly altered with expansion to new levels of success. It can happen slowly, annual raises or suddenly when your company goes public, your team wins the national championship, your invention is patented and sold, you win the Nobel prize or you break the land speed record. Your are no longer the person who lived from hand to mouth, no longer average or normal, no longer a 'nobody', no longer the one who looks up to others in awe.
Cherie Carter-Scott- If Success is a Game, These are the Rules
With your vision of your future self or circumstances to guide you, you will generate options, evaluate them and consciously choose the path you want to take to reach your goal. You will do this, not just once, but many times over. This conscious decision making- process- once you learn it- will serve you whenever you encounter one of the countless baffling situations in everyday life.
