Setting Systems VS Setting Goals

Ever wonder why sometimes you’re not able to achieve a goal, and when you do achieve it, it’s a big pump of Endorphins and soon life goes back to normal.

Today we will be discussing Systems vs Goals or in other terms practice vs performance.

Here is a quick refresh of the difference between systems and goals , in Scott Adams book how to fail at almost everything and still win big, he explains that a goal is a specific result that you either achieve or don’t sometime in the future and a system is something you do on a regular basis that achieve your odds and happiness in the long run, meaning that if you do something every day, it’s a system.

Setting a goal for yourself, financially, professionally or physically is great and an amazing starting point for building your systems, however you need to be consistent. YES, here consistency and resilience are key to implementing those habits.

You can start really small and work your way up, the idea is to enjoy the journey towards the destination you’re heading and if you never have time to reflect on these things that help you feel content while staying focused, today is the day. 

Ask yourself these questions when setting your systems:

•  What is my current state?
•  What is my desired state?
• Why do I want to move towards my desired state?
• How we can bridge the gap between the two states? 
• What is my plan of action? (consistency lives here ??)

Once you have systems in place its time to start setting, adjusting and enjoying the process, don’t be afraid to take a small step back and make changes to your systems if you need because life happens ?? celebrate the small wins and remember that your systems are unique to you.
