Community Over Everything...
A rocket takes off and leaves its boosters behind as it flies into outer space. It's a necessary part of the process for the ship to get where it's going and for the astronauts to finish their mission. There are a lot of people and materials that make the whole event possible. Some of those people even continue to monitor the ship's progress. Perhaps, out of admiration or desire, but also because, eventually, that ship has to return.
As Andre 3000 says, "Spaceships don't come equipped with rearview mirrors, they dip as fast as they can." It's easy to let your ego get the best of you in this business, in any business, to be honest, but you can't treat people like they're disposable. Every tv show, movie, and album has multiple names in the credits that helped make that project a reality. Likewise, every company has shareholders, employees, and customers that help make it profitable. We don't exist in a vacuum. Everyone plays their part.
That being said, make sure you take care of yourself, your team, and your community. I pity the fool that gets everything they've ever wanted but burned everyone that helped them get it...
Keep your heart! Keep your heart!
