James Clear says people don't rise to their goals, they fall to their systems. Most of us set yearly targets without building the habits to reach them, thinking harder work alone will do it. Without the right system in place, the goal stays out of reach.
James Clear said it best in his book Atomic Habits when he said that we never rise to our goals, we always fall to our systems. So every single year, most people wake up and go, here's my goal, this is where I'm going. But they don't ever think, what's the system to get there? They basically think they're going to turn the treadmill from a level 8 to a level 12, and they're going to get to where they want to go. It just doesn't work like that.
