In their lives, someone can reach a tipping point when they accumulate enough small changes or moments of transformation that lead to a significant shift or breakthrough. This is supported by the line in the poem, "These small changes accumulate until the momentum pushes toward transformation" (line 4-5), indicating that the accumulation of small changes eventually leads to a tipping point where a major transformation occurs.
