When facing a decline in performance after reaching a high level of success, it is crucial to reflect on the actions and habits that initially propelled you to success. Often, people struggle with this reflection due to hubris and ego. As skills and performance improve, there is a tendency to neglect the foundational habits and drills that contributed to success. The key is to maintain humility and understand that it is the actions taken, not innate greatness, that lead to success. Continuous improvement requires staying grounded, detaching from personal greatness, and acknowledging that success is a result of consistent actions.
