The worst thing about wealth is the loss of drive and creativity. You become more concerned about not falling than you are about climbing. Scared to fall and too weak to climb, you end up in this sort of comfortable purgatory. The novelty, jet-setter, family wrecker and burnout phases take about three years end-to-end. Then you find out what sort of person you really are. Most are dissapointed at what they find.

OMg I love the way you said that! "scared to fall and too weak to climb"
Why, thank you! There really is a fear that comes with any type of success - the fear of unsuccess. And it can put you in a very strange place personally and professionally.
