Focus On Building Good Habits Not Goals

Your focus shouldn't be on your goals but rather the systems that help you attain those goals (your habits).

In sports , the wining and the losing team usually have same goals which is to win, yet one team end up on the losing side.

Rather than focusing your energy into a goal, channel that energy into building excellent systems that'll help you attain those goals.

"You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems"
