There is a famous quote by the social reformer Jacob Riis about persistence and unseen progress.
He said, "When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it."
"Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."
When you are in the middle of a long transition—a job hunt, a difficult project, or a grueling training program—you are swinging the hammer. You might be at blow number 50, or maybe 60. You look at the rock and you don't see a crack yet. It looks exactly the same as it did on Day 1.
But the physics are working inside the stone. Every application, every interview, every hour of effort is weakening the structure of your obstacle. Don't stop hitting the rock. It is going to break.
