This predicament of complacency and arrogance happens and manifests in so many aspects of our lives very easily.
That tendency to feel comfortable, not wanting to rock the boat and just go with the flow once we’ve carved a sweet niche leads us down this track.
We can be contented with what we have and yet strive to keep improving our lot, because life itself is a consistent flow that does not stagnate.
The tendency to also grow arrogant and superior, once we start having that sense of accomplishment is also a penchant that easily sneaks in.
We should remember and strive to keep our heads bowed in humility, even as we stand tall in confidence.

The complacency part is so real for me right now. I need to make sure I continue with the desire to achieve and become better than the person I am today. In my personal and professional life. I can feel it creeping in. Thanks Jackie for the reminder.

Excellent point. Getting comfortable and boastful can be an easy place to unpack if we let ourselves.
