IF You let success go to your head, you seriously compromise the possibility of future success. Acknowledge your success, thank others who do so, and then move on from it. Every success fades with time. Make the choice not to fade along with it. Your past successes are what you’ve done, but don't pretend that they define who you are. See yourself as a humble inhabitant of the present, eager to make a difference. Both success and failure provide valuable experience you can call upon again and again. Rather than becoming complacent and arrogant about the good you've done, focus the power of that experience in an active and beneficial direction. One of the best things about success is the increased opportunity it can provide. With gratitude and humility, set about to transform that opportunity into new value. Spend a few minutes celebrating the win, then get busy working on the next challenge. From every success, quietly begin to create another. Push without being pushy. Give everything to the effort while expecting nothing from the result. Let your fulfillment be in making it happen, not in having made it happen. If the result is fulfilling, as it often will be, that's a bonus. You have much more control over your actions than you do over the results of your actions. Keep your focus on what you can control and refuse to be dissuaded by factors you cannot control. Your results are indications of your success but they are not the substance of your success. That substance is in the value you create along the way. It's a form of value that will always exist no matter how any particular result plays out.
