Why You Won’t Reach Your Goal— And How To Fix It.

Start a successful business…

Lose weight…

Make more money…

These are all goals we’ve probably set for ourselves at some point in time. Most likely, we are striving for some form of them right now.

Unfortunately, only a small percentage of us will actually reach the top of the mountain.

The rest of us, are destined to be in a constant loop of failing to stick to our plan long enough, giving up, starting a new plan, failing to stick to the plan…

Despite that, the most interesting thing to me is that, for the most part:

“Winners and losers have the same goals.”

Furthermore:

“And if successful and unsuccessful people share the same goals, then the goal cannot be what differentiates the winners from the losers.”

Those are all quotes from the book “Atomic Habits” by James Clear, and above all, personally, they shine a light on what we shouldn’t focus on.

Because, for the most part, goals have the sole purpose of guiding us towards the habits that will allow us to achieve them.
