Beware the Weight of Your Own Success

Success can lead to a collapse just as much as failure, as growth creates its own risks. When a structure, whether physical or metaphorical, grows too large, it can become unsustainable and ultimately fall apart under its own weight. This phenomenon highlights the cyclical nature of life, where expansion does not necessitate external forces to cause a decline. Many mistakes stem from underestimating the internal risks associated with success, leading to an oversight of how the growth itself can induce vulnerability. Recognizing this tendency allows for better preparation and management of risks in various life situations.
