For many, the idea of excellence exists in the back of the mind. It's certainly part of why you train the way you do and has fueled the lifestyle changes many have undergone. But the reality is that excellence can still feel out there, out of reach. Like a lofty goal you might obtain eventually. If you just build the right ight combination of habits then you'll achieve excellence, right? So, you dig in and force more habits, more rituals, more routines. And while those habits are creating positive changes, this allusive excellence still doesn’t seem any closer. What if all those habits were getting in the way of achieving true excellence?
