Actionable tips:

• After a big win, acknowledge it, but focus on the next steps and continue your routine. Don’t let one victory set your expectations.
• Regularly assess whether you’re making decisions for sustainable growth or just for a quick reward. Push yourself to make the right choice, even if it's not the most appealing one.
• Reflect on your wins, but resist becoming overly attached to them. Appreciate the positive outcome, but don’t let it define your worth or dictate your future actions. This helps prevent complacency and keeps your focus on the long-term path ahead.

“Atreus: Who would turn down a flood of good fortune?

Thystes: Anyone who's seen how quickly it all slips away.” - Seneca

Whether it’s a big commission or a series of wins, success can vanish as quickly as it arrives.

It's easy to get caught up in the highs, but focusing too much on transient gains can lead to complacency or an inflated ego.

Much like the Chinese farmer’s tale, what seems like a blessing today could turn into misfortune tomorrow—and vice versa.

Fortune is fleeting, be it good or bad.

Staying grounded helps us build a resilient foundation and maintain disciplined habits for long-term success.

Remember you will die.
