I know a woman who works with athletes and learning-disabled children. She mentioned that, every single time, before a great breakthrough, these people regress into their lowest low. They'll be doing ok, and then bam, they will regress. But when they've almost given up hope, they suddenly jump into heir greatest breakthrough. It's a normal human pattern.
Why is this? I wonder. It does not seem to make any sense.
