— 7 — The 6-Minute Miracle (For The Busy People) On the one hand, we all want to be happy. On the other hand,
we all know the things that make us happy. But we don’t do those things. Why? Simple.
We are too busy. Too busy doing what? Too busy trying to be happy.

O h, you’re busy? Weird. I thought it was just me.
Probably the most common question—or concern—I get about
The Miracle Morning is regarding how long it needs to be. When I
first had the breakthrough realization about how our levels of success
(and fulfilling our potential) in every area of life are being limited by
our insufficient (or non-existent) level of personal development, my
biggest challenge was finding time to act on this realization.
As I’ve developed and shared The Miracle Morning over the
years, I’ve been very aware of the need to make it scalable so that
even the busiest among us can make time for our Miracle Morning. I
developed The 6-minute Miracle Morning for those days when you’re
extra busy and pressed for time, as well as for those of you who are so
overwhelmed with your life situation right now that just thinking
about adding one more thing stresses you out.
I think we can all agree that investing a minimum of six minutes
into becoming the person we need to be to create the levels of success
and happiness we truly want in our lives is not only reasonable, it’s an
absolute must, even when we’re pressed for time. I think you will be
pleasantly surprised in the next few minutes as you read and realize
how powerful (and life-changing) these six minutes can be!
Imagine if the first six minutes of every morning began like
this…
