Goals vs. Systems

I think systems are far more effective than goals. Focusing on a vision of who we want to be and then creating systems that would eventually led to that outcome vs. creating a goal and striving to meet the goal.

If you fail before hitting your goal you feel like a loser and continue to binge. If you exceed your goal you feel like you have won and can let down your guard.

Creating systems that you commit to doing is not about achieving something, it is about becoming. There may be days that we fall short, but we can keep going.

What systems do you have in place to be the man or woman you want to be?
How have they helped you in your recovery?
