The phone calls slow down.
Meetings fall into place.
You even manage to get home before dark some days.
And then it hits you:
The silence.
But not the peaceful kind.
Not the “Nice, everything’s under control” kind.
It’s the kind of quiet where you can hear the assistant closing a drawer at the end of the hallway.
That silence reminds you of one thing:
No one’s coming to say,
“Wow, you make this look effortless—ready for your next big challenge?”
That’s the moment you realize:
The climb is over…
But you’re not sure what the next mountain is.
And that’s where people split into two groups:
Those who map out their next move.
And those who keep walking in circles at the top.
Been there?
Everything’s working. No drama. No noise.
You feel like you’re in motion but is it forward? Or just around in circles?
This is the most important moment:
Don’t be fooled by the quiet.
Don’t fall in love with the comfort.
Because if you’re not asking “What’s next?”
Someone else might decide it for you.
So tell me
Have you already set your sights on the next peak?
Or are you just circling the one you’ve already conquered?
