Welcome to the Daily Quote – I'm Andrew McGivern.Today's quote comes from James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, who said:”You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”You fall to the level of your systems.Not your goals. Your systems.Everyone has goals. Every athlete wants to win. Every entrepreneur wants to succeed. Every person wants to lose weight or save money or learn something new.But goals don't differentiate winners from losers. Everyone in the race wants to win. What separates them is the system they built to get there.Your system is your habits. It's what you do every single day when no one's watching. It's the routine you follow when motivation runs out.You can set a goal to get in shape, but if your system involves sitting on the couch every night and eating takeout, you'll fall to the level of that system. The goal doesn't matter.Or you can set the same goal, but build a system where you prep healthy meals on Sunday, lay out your workout clothes the night before, and schedule exercise like it's a doctor's appointment.Same goal. Different system. Different result.Clear is telling us to stop obsessing over the outcome and start building the daily habits that make the outcome inevitable.So here's the question: What's one system you could build today that would make your goal inevitable?Forget the outcome for a minute. Build the habit. Trust the system.That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern – I'll see you in the next one with another Daily Quote.
