Winning

Raw talent,

What is a 34% percent increase in business over last year? What is the best year in the past five years? What is the quickest rise to the top in company history?

Just a wave perhaps; one which was paddled onto at the right time. Yet when your wave surpasses almost everyone else's you have to wonder. The real question is what do you do from here? Keep ridding, head to the beach, or lose it all together.

It gets harder when you have learned all you can from your teachers. The wins become fewer and further between. The comfort of complacency begins to call. Its been a long trip here, you deserve a rest, begins to creep into your bones.

Even deeper within you begin to wonder how much further can you realistically push it; doubt and fear of loss being to set in. For there comes a point where everyone can go no further. We all have our limits and you start to fear that this is where your's lies.

Then your mind drifts, just for a moment, to that time you left your comfort zone. Beyond that safety net life was indeed harsher, but only for a moment, because while the winters were lean, the harvests were never richer.

And while the bounty never came without a cost, aptitude surely hastened the crops growth.
