Have you walked away from something at your peak? Have you been at the top of the mountain and seen all that there is to see? Held the ultimate thrill of victory, like Michael Jordan's championship-winning last-second shot?

Michael retired that day.
As you walk down from that mountain top and toward the green pastures below, you may look back and be drawn to those old heights. You may remember the magic and be seduced by the memories of the person that you were.
Resist! Move on and start your new life. Memories of pure gold can only be tarnished if you try to polish them further. Mountains can only be climbed so high.
Michael climbed back up the mountain.
(Now at this point you're expecting me to link you to highlights of him flailing away for the Washington Wizards as a shell of the player he once was. Unfortunately all I could find was this fantastic blocked shot of his. Dang!)
