Have You Hit a Low Point Trying to Achieve Your Goals?

It’s OK, that’s what’s supposed to happen.

Oh, sh*t I’m slipping. I Don’t think I can hold on.

Digging both feet in and gripping as tightly as I can. It’s no use. I’ll try one last trick. Nope, that didn’t work. All that hard work is crumbling away. This is it. I feel myself beginning to fall…

That’s how it can feel after an amazing few days of writing. When your work is attracting all kinds of attention. Claps, comments, highlights, the lot. Your follower's number keeps rising; 10 per day, then 20, 30, 40… it feels like it will go on forever.

Have you finally cracked this thing called writing? It’ certainly beginning to feel like it.

And then it happens.

Your latest piece doesn’t seem to be gaining as much traction as the last few you’ve recently posted — ah well, maybe it’s just a quiet day on Medium, not to worry.

Then your next creation, a similar result.

You decide to jump on to your favourite Facebook group and ask the question, “Is anyone else experiencing technical difficulties with the Medium app?”

It seems everything is fine.
