Are you chasing goals?
What if the reason you keep struggling with your goals is because you are focused on the wrong thing?
I have learned that goals can give us direction, but they are terrible places to live.
Think about it. If your entire focus is losing 30 pounds, writing a book, saving money, or running a marathon, every day you have not reached that goal can feel like you are behind. You start measuring yourself by a finish line instead of the progress you are making.
That is why I believe systems are more powerful than goals.
A goal tells you where you want to go. A system determines who you become getting there.
Stop obsessing over the 30 pounds and build the system of moving your body every day. Stop staring at the finished book and create the system of writing every morning. Stop worrying about the amount in your savings account and build the system of consistently putting money away.
This is where CFC becomes so important.
Commitment. Focus. Consistency.
You commit to the direction. You focus on what needs to be done today. Then you consistently repeat it until the behavior becomes part of who you are.
Your potential is not reached through one giant moment. It is revealed through hundreds of small choices repeated frequently.
The goal may be somewhere in the future.
But the system gives you something you can do NOW.
And what you do frequently becomes your frequency.
