🔥 Article #19

By Marvin Gandis

There is a moment in every transformation that feels unbearable.

A moment when:

• Nothing seems to work
• Motivation disappears
• Doubt becomes louder than belief

This moment is called:

The Breaking Point.

And this is where most people quit.

Not because they can’t succeed — but because they don’t realize how close they are.

---

🧠 Why the Breaking Point Exists

Growth creates pressure.

Pressure creates discomfort.

Discomfort creates emotional resistance.

And resistance creates the illusion that something is wrong.

But nothing is wrong.

Something is changing.

Just like water before it boils.

It becomes unstable before transformation.

🔍 The Illusion of Failure

At the breaking point:

Progress feels like failure.

Effort feels pointless.

Time feels wasted.

But what’s really happening is this:

Your old identity is collapsing.

Your new identity is forming.

Breakdown often precedes breakthrough.

---

🔁 The Pressure–Breakthrough Cycle

Pressure increases
Identity destabilizes
Old patterns weaken
New patterns form
Breakthrough happens

But only if you don’t quit.

🛠️ How to Survive the Breaking Point

1️⃣ Expect emotional discomfort

Discomfort is part of transformation

2️⃣ Don’t trust temporary emotions

Emotions fluctuate — identity evolves

3️⃣ Focus on continuing, not succeeding

Continuation creates a breakthrough

4️⃣ Remember why you started

Purpose stabilizes momentum

---

🚀 Final Thought

Most people stop at the breaking point.

Not knowing that success was one step away.

The breaking point is not the end.
It is the doorway.

Momentum rewards those who continue.
