Goals vs Systems

I bet you have many goals in life. I know I do.
It's good to have them.

But when you focus on your goals too much, you can actually decrease your chances of achieving them.
In this video I'll explain why that happens and why instead of focusing your goals, you should focus on creating a system.

The articles that inspired the video:

1. Set a direction, where you want to go
2. Ask good questions about how to get there
3. Apply the answers you've got and readjust as needed.

To translate this video from a different angle: To climb a mountain, don't look at the top -- just keep your head down and take one step at a time.

Very Important part of every system, that most people forget to include:

Do something fun between the work!
Drink a tea, meditate 2 minutes, listen to a song...

This is awesome! I would concentrate on systems as a child but once I joined medical school the final exam that was held once a year and the knowledge required to eventually become an efficient Doctor became my ultimate goal and I trailed of to a path of not being happy with what I was doing because I could never meet my own expectations and eventually developed anxiety for exams and thought of myself as a loser who could not gain enough knowledge to become an efficient Doctor and was diagnosed with Depression in my third year of medical school. When I was feeling better with medication and therapy and reflected upon what I was going wrong I realised that unlike childhood i did not have systems, I was fixating on the ultimate goal which was to be reached through systems the importance of which I had completely forgotten. Now I am slowly getting back on track and your channel helps me a lot with my journey back to normalcy. Thank you ❤️

I got the idea form this book
'how to fail at almost everything and still win big' by Scott adams btw great video 😍😍😍

I really hate goals, because they are outcome focused, and you can't get any fulfillment from that mindset, they could be good for being focus only and don't lose your sight, but the process should be your main priority.

Thank you so much for this video! In fact, I always used to feel bad for not having enough goals, when in fact, I do have systems for several areas of my life, such as money, health, etc.
These systems do help me to achieve things. So, they can't be all that bad. 🙂

Each one of your latest videos is an eye-opener. I can't thank you enough for what you're doing! Just keep safe and take care of yourself during this pandemic, wherever you are.

One of the best examples, in this case, is learning a language. When you only focus on the goal probably you give up other important language's skills, therefore it's significant to forge the system which it'll be fit to yourself.
