If the moment of weightlessness when I feel like I\u2019m untouchable. While that feels really good for a moment, I realize that it\u2019s temporary and the hard work and obstacles are about to begin and\/or present themselves again.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s inevitable and quite frankly, I NEED that.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the trap for me. I get seduced by the attention and I think I\u2019m good, untouchable, not hungry anymore, complacent. This is not good for me.<\/p>\n<p>I want to remember that I will never be done, never be the best I can be, always be striving for more. It\u2019s so much easier to believe the hype about yourself. In fact, I create it; it\u2019s not real. I do it because I want a break and I fabricate it, because it feels good. We all want attention, props, attaboys and attagirls. I\u2019m not suggesting you blow off or disbelieve people who compliment you. What I\u2019m saying is don\u2019t let it fool you into thinking you\u2019ve reached your goal.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not growing or striving to do or be more, you are a flatline. A flatline means you\u2019re dead. (Thanks, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.debcheslow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deb Cheslow<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>So, accept your congratulations, enjoy the attention, but remember that this is just temporary. You have to do the work to be better, and we can all benefit from striving to be better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026 Or don\u2019t get seduced by attention.
