I don’t remember learning to ride a bike, but I must have, because I can do it now. I’ve taught several children to
ride, and they’ve all been the same. They couldn’t ride, they tried and tried, then all of a sudden they were riding and they haven’t stopped. Each of them has know fear, panic and pain from the process, but they were each motivated. Some were motivated by peer pressure, some by opportunity, some simply by a desire to please me, and they all stayed with it, through the ups and downs, literally, until suddenly they could do it, and they became bike riders, forevermore.
Everything is hard when it is new. Jim Rohn tells of rocky experiences when he began his speaking career, and then of his first “big” audience, more than 10,000 people, on the program with well-known speakers like Art Linkletter and Zig Ziglar. He also says that people often approach him after a seminar, commenting that he did four hours without notes. After you do a few thousand of these, Rohn says, it gets easier.
