When things finally start going right, my first instinct isn’t usually celebration. It’s caution. Not fear, just awareness. Because I’ve learned that momentum doesn’t keep itself, at least historically.
So, I stay quiet. I don’t announce every win, I don’t chase every shiny distraction. I just keep the work steady and the focus sharp. Let the energy keep flowing in the same direction that got me here in the first place. Heading upward again is a great feeling, but, it doesn't mean you're on top yet. The trajectory is better, finally, but the follow through is now the priority.
Call it cautious optimism. Or maybe just wisdom earned the hard way. Either way, I’ll take it.
