7 Signs You’re On The Edge of a Breakthrough to Reach Your Potential
Success is rarely a straight line. At one moment you can feel like you’re on the edge of a breakthrough, and in another moment feel like you’re back at square one. Unfortunately, this is how it works.
The behind the scenes story of almost all overnight successes are years and years of toil. Unquestionably, it’s this exhausting labor of love over many years that make success stories seem like the breakthrough was overnight.
More often than not, the difference between those who succeed and those who fail is persistence. Those who give up after facing adversity disappear into obscurity. What’s more, adversity is not something you defeat one time. Adversity is seasonal. It comes and goes in perpetuity.
Fortunately, just like adversity is seasonal, so are breakthroughs. One day you may be fighting through adversity and the next day you may be on the edge of a breakthrough. However, you must recognize both quickly so you can respond appropriately.
The fact is, not executing on a breakthrough opportunity can actually lead to adversity. Therefore, it’s extremely important to recognize these opportunities so they don’t backfire on you. Below are 7 signs that you’re close to one of these breakthroughs.
