A goal is a destination, a system in the journey to get there:
<ul>
<li>Goals are one-time events: you reach them and then you're done. </li>
<li>Systems represent the way you're reaching your objectives: the processes you follow regularly that lead you in the direction of your goal.</li>
</ul>
For example: losing 30 pounds is a goal, exercising and eating the right way represent the system.

Goals Vs Systems

Obsessing over a certain goal means you're operating from a constant state of failure: you're failing to meet your own expectations. This can make you feel frustrated and miserable because you're not reaching the stage you desire to be at.
Having goals is essential, or else you would not know what kind of systems you need to create. But once you know what your goals are, focusing on them can be counterproductive.

Focusing Too Much On Your Goals

Follow these steps, while also taking into consideration your unique circumstances:
<ul>
<li>Choose the direction you want to follow.</li>
<li>Find out how to get there by asking good questions.</li>
<li>Experiment with the answers and readjust.</li>
</ul>

Welcome to my channel.

I’m someone who has always loved reading great books and exploring new ideas.
This is a place where I share what I’ve learned along the way.
I draw from different fields, such as psychology, philosophy, biology, economy, and many others, but every single topic falls under the personal growth umbrella.
Using simple words and friendly images, I want to make my content easy to remember so that we can all benefit from it long term.
My main goal is to help us become better than yesterday, one step at a time.

I would like to point out that I’m a one-man army, and I don’t create videos full-time.
For those reasons, all content takes me a while to produce.
New videos once in a blue moon (but worth the wait)! :)
