Why they say it takes 3 weeks to develop a habit or some— it's always this hacky shit. I'm gonna tell you right now, 30 days ain't gonna do shit for you. The permanent, you wanna make it permanent. Permanent, you start talking about a year, 18 months, 2 years, that's a sacrifice. And when you commit yourself to something for a year, you're not gonna say, oh, I'm gonna let that go. Cuz in your mind, you like, I mean, you, you have it clear as day. That year took a lot outta me. That year built me. That year started to scrape away all that scar tissue, start to clean me up. 30 days don't clean shit up. 30 days just kind of covers up, put a blanket over it. A year, it cleans you up nicely, man. Whatever your problem is, if, if you can dedicate yourself for a year to something, you could be a changed person. A lot of life and business is just perspective, how you look at things.
