Recently while reading Atomic Habits book by 'James Clear' I came across concept of plateau of latent potential .


It is the time lag between 'what you except' and 'what actually happens'.

And latent potential is the serenity that we are gonna get once we reach the plateau.


🔸 we think of results / outcomes of our action is linear wrt to time and consistent effort, but in reality its not!

🔸 Most of us dream of doing crazy stuff or epic shit and for gods sake we even get started. Once we failed to receive the instant gratification we fall into valley of disappointment and give up on our dreams.


✔ what people need to understand is, success is not something that happens overnight.

It takes millions of years of tectonic plates grinding against each other to create earthquake.


✔ Remember that every successful person was a noob someday.

Only thing that separates successful people from other is their ability to hold their nerves and continue their journey in the valley of disappointment until they reach/ cross the plateau of latent potential.
