Succeed too fast, and we may change our relationship with risk. Taste a big win and there’s a temptation to chase that scale again, and raise the stakes, whether we’re ready or not.
We succeed through the skills, knowledge, and support we acquire on the journey – perhaps with a touch of good fortune added. It’s a cumulative process.
Those who fail first often end up more deliberate, more intentional about what they choose next. Wisdom is knowing that what we can achieve and what we can sustain are not the same.
