![]() Stuff that caught my attention and interest. Every fortnight I put out one with a short essay and a curated set of five reads. This is the _ edition of The OWL Despatch. What is one quote that has changed your life? Drop me a note with that quote and I will share it around. And that’s why this quote has made a difference. They are wishes and desires.Īsk yourself what habits and systems in your life you will have to change for you to reach some of your tall goals? That’s where I began after I first heard James Clear say this. If those goals do not have systems, habits and processes that you have worked on and examined often, they are not goals. Especially some of the goals that have stayed as goals. It is the efficiency and rigour of our systems that will lift our game and get us to the goal! So, What Could You Do? Stay relentless with getting better with the process. Of course we need goals, but we need systems and habits even more. When we focus on systems, processes, good habits and align for direction with our goals, we go a long way. Systems and ways of working help us not just to get to that point but to continue thriving even afterwards. But life continues far beyond that point. It is very clear to me that there has to be a relentless focus on systems, processes and habits that will bring about the goal. That’s a quote that is so much a part of my daily life now and it is so woven into my practice as well. “You don’t rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems” James Clear The modern day accords goals an outsized degree of importance and diminishes the process of getting to the goals.Īnd that’s precisely what James Clear said. A winner’s story is often plagued by survivorship bias. In the modern day world, challenging goals, burning desire combined with limitless perseverance make a winner. So, goals by themselves don’t gaurantee victory. That desire often is called a goal and is present with everyone: winners and losers. Be it a race to a Olympic podium or a high chair in the corporate world. A huge desire for winning is present with every person who competes in a race. You see, we live in a world were goals are held aloft. A quote that found me telling friends and colleagues ‘forget your goals’ with a straight face and facing their wrath after that!ĭid you call me mad for saying ‘forget your goals’? I understand if you did. One of which is what I want to write about today. And as our coffee grew cold, I could zero in on a few. But I played along and shortlisted a few. “What is one quote that has made the most difference to you? Personally, professionally and has impacted your way of approaching life?” Now, there are so many quotes that have influenced me and singling one out was ridiculous. Last week I met a friend who asked me this simple question.
