It is possible that when a person feels a sense of success, he can lose his sense of complete faith in Hashem. There is a part of him that feels that he has the ability to act in a sphere outside of the influence of Hashem. It is at this time when a person needs to refocus on his Emunah, on his complete faith and trust in Hashem.
Those who spend time devoting themselves to this focus will often notice how events in their lives are constantly forcing them to focus on their trust in Hashem, to the exclusion of trust in other sources. The feeling of protection and being taken care of that comes from this mindset is unparalleled. It isn't easy to live this way. It is as if Hashem is saying "If you look elsewhere for your sense of satisfaction, then you are not truly devoted to me. Even if in most aspects you are mine, the little aspect where you aren't says a lot about the rest of yourself."
