Ascend and Defend
How Growing Your Success Increases the Target on Your Back
Feed off your drive and commitment to personal growth, with a dash of luck, you will most certainly experience success. It's something that not everyone is guaranteed in their life.
Success is actually based off of two things: your goals and what you desire to achieve and also a continual growth towards the "peak". What do I mean by the peak? It's the top point for your career, it's moving up in an organization, it's making enough money for a comfortable living, it's being rewarded for your hard work.
As you gain success and move onward and upward in your career and life, the people who watch from below you begin to take notice to your ascension, and they don't like looking up at people who used to stand next to them. Jealousy and envy are not unusual to those who look up the mountain to those who used to be their peers. I am not saying everyone is jealous and envious of those who succeed, but the greater victories you experience the bigger the target they place on your back.
What does this target on your back mean? It represents the downfall they wish to see you experience, a stumble or hiccup you may encounter that will humble you, or however you may perceive it. Just because you're successful does not mean that you're cocky, however with growth and development confidence is gained. Often someone who lacks self-confidence interprets confidence another person possesses as cockiness.
As you gain professional success and personal growth, you must be weary of others and their attempts to being you down thus be prepared to defend yourself against an onslaught of backhanded comments, attempts to sabotage, manipulation of your position, or whatever manner they wish to tie an anchor to your feet. Don't let them bring you down, you are ascending towards your own beautiful future.
