King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

The Danger of Complacency

Do not allow your accomplishments weaken your resolve, your ego prevent you from dreaming or your pocketbook give you security. We have all been witness to empires falling & we must remember to stay the course with the same commitment & focus with which we began.

Complacency is a dangerous enemy, perhaps more dangerous than our initial fears or doubts because we have grown to have so much more to lose. Take notice of your motives & whether or not you are maintaining focus & desire. Sometimes, overcoming success is our biggest obstacle.
