Loss of Hunger

I notice the change. Slowly. I see it in me and my friends.

I don't have that drive. The burning desire to succeed. 

The dulling comes once you achieve success. You have the money, the fame, the power you once craved. You have achieved what you believe to be adequate.

It can also come from age, from being defeated one too many times, from acceptance of your situation, from time devoted to the day to day, from fighting life's battles, from sheer exhaustion.

Energy dampens. You want to relax. To take it easy.

When this occurs, you are gone. The one most universal trait among successful people is hunger.

Never lose the hunger and drive. Be more, give more and create more.
