Episode 3517:

Personal breakthroughs don’t come from grand resolutions or sudden epiphanies but from small, consistent shifts in perspective and behavior. David Cain explores how real change emerges from everyday moments of clarity when we see familiar struggles in a new light and act accordingly. Progress happens not by force but by cultivating awareness and responding differently to the same old challenges.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.raptitude.com/2017/06/where-personal-breakthroughs-really-come-from/

Quotes to ponder:

"Breakthroughs happen when something shifts in the way we see a problem, and we start responding to it differently."

"When something isn't working, our impulse is to push harder in the same direction, instead of stepping back and reconsidering the approach itself."

"The kind of insight that leads to real breakthroughs is usually subtle and unspectacular, but it makes a world of difference in how we move forward."
