Big-Hearted Capacity

Never feel "finished" and slip into complacency. Mistaking a successful conclusion as a signal to relax into a self-satisfied stupor begins an inevitable decline into entropy. Instead, the wise view good luck and unexpected success as a foundation to do more, to become more engaged rather than only take a vacation. Letting go of superficial, personal desires, cultivate a big heart, an insatiable capacity for the kind of good luck that can lead to more and more goodness in the world.
