Remove the Ladder

"Never put yourself in a position

to be made an example of."

Gary Hopkins

The higher one climbs the ladder, the farther they have to fall.  There is always someone climbing the ladder steps right behind with just as much determination to reach the top and cause the other to fall.  It is no wonder as nothing remains the same.  If we become an example for one thing, what happens when we grow into other diverse parts of ourselves?

As complex human beings, we may wander into other schools of thought or experience wisdom transitioning our lives into opposite directions.  When we are frozen in time as an example of one thing, our changes may reflect an aura of deception, even though it is not all.

If all of our power is directed at a singular thing, drawn by the vision of standing on the top of the ladder, we will eventually fall, distraught.  What if we used the same power to achieve an exacting purpose, without striving up the ladder and  brought others along on our journey?  Multiple creative minds working together can reach success and maintain vision.  We could even remove the ladder!
