Just because you couldn’t do something before, doesn’t mean you can’t do it now. World-class is not an event, it’s a process that takes about 66 days. See a lot of people say, I can’t do this new routine. It’s not because they couldn’t do the new routine, it’s because they didn’t stay with it for 66 days to allow their brain and their body to wire in and recode the new habit. I mean, just think about it. Anything that you’re really great at was once hard. So, another thing to remember is all professionals begin as amateurs, and every master was once a beginner. Go through this 66-day process, and eventually you’re going to get to the 60-day automaticity point where getting up at 5:00 or being the most positive, generous person you know, or dialing in a daily routine, or working like Picasso painted, or turning off the news and reading something good, or spending more time with your family every night, maybe it’s a private meal or a family dinner, it will become easier to do the new routine or new habit than not to do it.
