Everyone needs a good system for their life. If you've ever held a job, in a position that was previously held by another person, you know the feeling. When that person had absolutely no system in place, it was quite the heart ache for you to unfuck the disaster. But when that person who came before you had a solid system, And they were able to teach it to you before they left, the transition was sweet as pie.
A good system makes you feel good… Today! Your system can drive you towards higher levels in every area of your life. It's much easier to wrap your head around succeeding today, in your system (today), rather than having some far-off goal that you're always pretending is more important than how you feel now.
I get it. My favorite people espouse goals as well; Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins, Sean Covey, the list is endless of people, who I love l, that guarantee that goals are the best way to go.
Your system is the anti-goal. You can still use goals, but use them exceedingly sparingly. Be prepared for the goal to stop your energy in any and every area of your life, except for the pursuit of that goal. Meanwhile be conscious of the great capacity for your life to improve with setting in play certain practices and procedures, policies and habits, relationships and boundaries that will all coalesce into your "System". They will essentially push you up against the good life.
Your system will be worth 1000 goals and will also give you the freedom to be energetic and productive today.
