“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” -James Clear
Talking about your big dreams and plans over a hot cup of coffee with a close friend who patiently listens and encourages you is awesome. You’ll leave the conversation feeling amazing. Lit up. Ready to take on the world.
But if you don’t create systems that enable you to take continuous action towards achieving those dreams, especially on the days when you’re not feeling particularly inspired, which is most days, it will all just be coffee talk.
P.S. – Speaking of Coffee Talk, this classic SNL sketch.
