All of the effort that you spent getting the thing that you’ve got or to the place where you’ve arrived or the status that you’ve achieved…
… That effort is a sunk cost.
It’s gone and it’s in the past and it’s worth nothing now.
It doesn’t matter how hard it was to win that thing you’re still not entitled to keep it.
What keeps us where we are is doing the right thing now, making the best connections and producing the best work.
It’s never finished, you never earned it forever, you only got to hold this position for a short while in lieu of the thing you’re going to do next.
