When you are acclaimed for excellence during times of crisis you may not feel so good in a non-crisis environment.  You may not shine so bright, perform so well, be quite so acclaimed.  If crisis is how you satisfy your personal need to be needed, to feel accomplished, to be respected, to be heard, to be noticed, blah blah blah, then you will naturally seek out, create, attract, be drawn into situations that will allow you to meet this need.  Your environments and relationships will be filled to the brim with one crisis after another.
