It is with such importance that...

It is with such importance that when you become who
      you've always wanted to be
              - or perhaps who you had never imagined you
                          could be -
    that you never cease to be who you have always been.

For by whose strength and determination did you get there,
      but by the strength of the person you were when you were
          not who you wanted to be?

But forget not also those others by and through whom
      you were empowered to achieve any greatness,
          lest pride be your downfall.

For it is in humility that your creative flow will stay strong
      and by which you will retain those friendships from which
    you found your strength.
