## Resource

True success requires pushing past your perceived breaking point and finding the extra reserve to reach the top. Steve Harvey argues that true direction comes from a relationship with your Creator rather than the opinions of others.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Your perceived breaking point is often just a threshold that requires one more deep breath and more effort
- Failure mode: Making excuses for why tasks aren't finished prevents you from ever reaching the top of your field
- Practical takeaway: To reach the summit of your career, you must provide the extra drive and 'gut-wrenching effort' that others won't
- Main idea: Seeking validation from critics is futile because most people are just as lost as you are
- Practical takeaway: Use moments of hardship or reflection to reconnect with your purpose and your maker

## Topics
