Most glow-ups happen off camera: early mornings, private reps, conversations with yourself nobody hears.

What looks like a sudden change was almost always a long dull invisible stretch first. The visible part is the last small fraction, and since that is the only part anyone sees, change starts to look like something that happens to lucky people overnight. Nobody films the middle: the repeated attempts, the early mornings, the arguing with yourself about whether to keep going. The middle is where it actually happens.

If you are in the invisible stretch right now, that is the normal place to be. Keep a private record of the reps so you can watch the line move before anyone else can.
