Financial Success And Complacency

There comes a time in your life when you attain a certain financial goal, you start feeling like you are at the top of the world and feeling proud, and probably start feeling like you are the best and no one is above you. Most times you feel like you have gotten the final episode of knowledge acquisition, you are this successful financially because you are the most knowledgable in your field and no one knows more than you. This is what we call complacency, the act of feeling comfortable and contempt with your situation and environment.
source This is why it is advised to not chase success but rather focus more on progress, this progress is what I call the plus one element. This is something my dad taught me when I was very young, the plus one element is knowing that whatever you do, or have achieved know that you can be better. If you set a goal to achieve $1k in a month, dont be complacent, try to add an extra goal to that goal, it could be trying to achieve $2k next or something else. But it should be something that doesn’t keep you in the same level you once were, no matter how much success you have achieved. The plus one element could also involve reading a book to be better mentally so you can achieve higher financial success.

Because, while success leads to complacency, complacency can also lead to decline, just look at those people that feel like they dont need crypto or any digital assets because they are successful, some of them are regretting because the world is gradually tilting to crypto. But when you chase progress, you are always seeking for ways to go up or move upwards just so you can be better. While success and complacency results to decline in progress, progress results to increase in success.
