Have You Arrived?
Have you hit your goal? Hit the top of your market? Become the best in your field? Beaten everyone you wanted to?
This is what people mean when they say they have “arrived”. If you think that you have arrived and you’re ready to sit back and enjoy your reign on top then you’ve already lost.
The next guy is always chasing harder than you are running away from him. If you take a break to bask in the limelight, he’ll catch you and pass you. If you’re not constantly innovating and trying to get better then you’ll lose the edge that got you to the top.
A river that is constantly moving forward never becomes a stagnant smelly pond of water. It is always moving forward and affecting the banks around it. Are you a river or have you arrived at your pond?
