PROBLEMS THAT ARISE WHEN WE FOCUS MORE ON GOALS, THAN SYSTEMS
by C2 Productions on Twos
- GOALS RESTRICT HAPPINESS: This is probably one of the most important issues. You're studying to become a doctor, many students study with the mentality that "If they struggle & restrict happiness in their lives today. As soon as they graduate & become a doctor, they can be happy". What you're basically doing is to restrict happiness for your current-self & putting it for your future-self!
"The problem with a goals-first mentality is that
you’re continually putting happiness off until the next milestone".
This mentality also causes you to dive into the "JUST 2 RESULTS" where its either you achieve your goals, you're successful & you're happy (OR) you fail & become a dissapoinment.
"It makes no sense to restrict your satisfaction to one scenario when there are many paths to success."
On the other hand in a system first mentality, you fall in love with the System & therefore, you're happy almost all the time since you're falling in love with the process rather than the product.
"A system can be successful in many
different forms, not just the one you first envision."
