Taking Next Step Up Rather Not 2 Far

I for 1

Am all for taking

The next big step up

So long as that next step

Doesn't require anyone

Stepping on or over

Those who 1st helped them take
baby steps 

That lead you to the bottom step and 
in doing so inspired your desire to climb
at all

Like when after winning a major 
tournament achieving said sought
success

The second after you sack that very
coach that got you and set you on
your winning way and path

Then stepping on or over there dreams
is a price worth willing to pay

Rather not a step to far

Because to me that would be a
crushing blow

And the greatest loss or all

Because any victory devoid without 
one's friends to compliment and
celebrate with

Is as hollow and as empty as 
the heart that is willing to cast's aside 

Those who should mean the most 

Simply in order to get what they want

Your thoughts are always so deep my friend, this is a puzzle, but I guess your title would be the essence of your write move cautiously and carefully in life - my interpretation. Hugs and blessings. Jennifer.
