The thought behind the quote
I have always thought of a plateau as a negative thing, but at 62 I have realized that is not necessarily true!
By definition a plateau is: 1. a land area having a relatively level surface considerably raised above adjoining land on at least one side. 2. a period or state of little or no growth or decline, esp. one in which increase or progress ceases
The first thing to consider is that a plateau is “a RAISED place.” It is the place and space between where you are and where you want to be! The POSITIVE: You can only know you have plateaued if you assess what has been, address what is, and focus on what is possible!

#1 LeaderTip of the Day: "Use the plateaus you identify as an opportunity to learn! Don’t see any plateau as a negative. The fact that you can see it, means YOU KNOW THERE IS MORE…that IS POSSIBLE!"
Secondly, embrace the TENSION between where you are and where you want to be!
How do you do that? Be IN-TENSIONAL!
If you feel like there is more for you in any area of your life, embrace the tension of that on the inside and it will create IN-TENSIONAL focus on what you need to TAKE ACTION on…the outside!
#2 LeaderTip of the Day: "Seek to believe INSIDE/OUT and what happens on the outside will not affect you on the inside as much."
Don’t waste your plateaus! Learn from them!
