If your goal is to complete a 1000 peice puzzle and you work on it for 3 days, but do not finish, is the puzzle picture complete? "Do you see a problem with that?" Of course not, why? because you did not finish the puzzle no matter how many days you worked on it. what will it take to finish the picture? is there a certain amount of time all should be complete? no, it takes what it takes. some may get the picture sooner than others, but in the end if you quit before the puzzle is complete then your picture will be incomplete no matter how much time you worked on it.
Like wise how many day can one put on building a bridge between themselves and God? If you do not finish this bridge will you be able to cross it? no. When can one cross a bridge? When the gap is completely span. How long will this take? How big is the gap between you and God? The larger the gap the longer this process will take. So who can say he has spent enough time on their 'bridge' if the bridge is not complete?
That's what I said: the whole framing is conducive to never, ever failing. It's a dishonest tactic: if a person follows your lead and never gets there, their choices are either to stop, whereupon you have the excuse that they hadn't continued and therefore they were doing it wrong, or they keep doing it until they die, whereupon they're hardly likely to complain and damage your credibility, are they?
You've set up an entirely dishonest system here that has no failure state, whether or not it succeeds. It is, top to bottom, confirmation bias.
