Human Being is one of the highest order of creation on Earth. Therefore the decisions we make are based on the facts or assumptions we make, which could be an educative decision.
Similarly, companies today collect mountain of data to make rational decisions but it can go wrong if they miss an important detail.
So, we should create a system of small manageable habits, as a matter of fact we don't rise to the level of our goal but fall to the level of our systems. Our bad habits repeat themselves not because of we don't want to change, but we have a wrong system for change.
It's more important to focus on the overall system rather than a single goal but people on the other hand run towards the goal and once its done, it's over cause our main focus was the goal not the system of change. For instance, cleaning the room once a week is a lot easier than waiting for the next day until it gets worse where you might need a lot more motivation to clean them.
Therefore how can we design the system then ? Here, are some easy steps to follow:
- Develop a system/habit of continuous improvement as both winner and loser have the same goal.
- Fixing a problem is only a temporary change, we need to solve it at the system level to make it happen again.
- The goals we create restrict our happiness, it's like if we reach our goal then we are happy nor we are disappointed but when we follow system first we fall in love with the process rather than the product. Its not that I meant we don't need goal it is necessary to set a direction not a pathway. For instance, The purpose of goal is to win the game while in system it is to continuously play the game.
In conclusion, a simple progress of continuous improvement with regular practice can lead us to break the Plateau of latent potential, where mastery is unstoppable. It is how we enginner it, it's not a quick fix we apply towards it.
