You can't ride the wave forever

This is an oversight I have seen a lot of people making that ends up hurting their careers. You need to pay careful attention because everything has a due date. Every time your stakeholders, manager, job changes or enough time passes by, you need to prove your worth again. You have to make sure you are filling and surpassing those expectations. Going through two acquisitions this was the biggest learning that has helped me continue to nurture my career.
