Focus on Building a System Rather Than Worrying About a Goal

Results should not be the main focus of change. Instead, focus on controlling the inputs, such as habits, that ultimately determine the outputs. While luck and randomness can influence outcomes, they are beyond our control. By prioritizing the aspects of a situation that we can control, we can build a system that leads to success. Although society often emphasizes and celebrates results, it is important to recognize the invisible process behind success and value the system that produces it. Goals and success are important, but it is crucial to spend our time and energy on developing effective habits and systems. By adjusting and improving our systems, we can naturally achieve different outcomes in the future.
