    I bet you have many goals in life. I know I do.
    It's good to have them.
    But when you focus on your goals too much, you can actually decrease your chances of achieving them.
    In this video I'll explain why that happens and why instead of focusing your goals, you should focus on creating a system.
    The articles that inspired the video:

      It's good to see that there are so many solution oriented people.
      Don't you think it would also be good to be aware of the bigger picture?
      Our current challenge leads toward a world government, a world order.
      Our challenge is to prevent a world of total control that for the most part is already a reality.
      What are your suggestions?
      How can we prevent a world of total control?

    1. Set a direction, where you want to go
    2. Ask good questions about how to get there
    3. Apply the answers you've got and readjust as needed.

      Adjusting is very important. After you know more, your direction changes. This is similar to how a machine learns also.
      In Machine Learning topic (an AI branch), to make the machine smarter, the machine makes a small move into the direction that it thinks is the fastest direction to get to the goal.
      But because the machine has a very narrow field of view, the direction will usually be wrong. But it's not a problem. The machine makes the small move again into the adjusted direction. Repeat this often enough and it will eventually reach the goal.
      This algorithm is called gradient descent. It's like when you are trying to go down hill, but you don't see the entire hill, just go down the steepest direction you see until you reach the bottom.

    I really hate goals, because they are outcome focused, and you can't get any fulfillment from that mindset, they could be good for being focus only and don't lose your sight, but the process should be your main priority.

    • @demonheart13
      @demonheart13 3 роки тому +4

      Yes goals are outcome focused, but sometimes you need to focus on the outcome to get you through the process. Easy example, i love french onion soup, i hate cutting the onions to make.
      On a more important note. Art degrees, my school had life studies(drawing from real life naked models) as a requirment for all the art majors. I, the asexual virgin that i was, put it off lile the plague until i seriously had to in order to graduate. And it was the exact hell i thought it would be. My friend who was only embarrased got over it after a month or so. But i suffered the entire time, doing everything in my power to stay behind the models or focusing on their upper body. It was gross and disgusting and i hope to never again be alone in a room with a naked stranger for several hours. It was a hell i dont wish upon most of my enemies, but i had to focus on passing and graduating or else i would start remembering what i was doing. I passed but safe to say it was my second to worst grade besides advertising design which was a creative conflict i had with the teacher, not lack of skill or desire to grow. But i digress

    This is awesome! I would concentrate on systems as a child but once I joined medical school the final exam that was held once a year and the knowledge required to eventually become an efficient Doctor became my ultimate goal and I trailed of to a path of not being happy with what I was doing because I could never meet my own expectations and eventually developed anxiety for exams and thought of myself as a loser who could not gain enough knowledge to become an efficient Doctor and was diagnosed with Depression in my third year of medical school. When I was feeling better with medication and therapy and reflected upon what I was going wrong I realised that unlike childhood i did not have systems , I was fixating on the ultimate goal which was to be reached through systems the importance of which I had completely forgotten. Now I am slowly getting back on track and your channel helps me a lot with my journey back to normalcy. Thank you ❤️

    One of the best examples, in this case, is learning a language. When you only focus on the goal probably you give up other important language's skills, therefore it's significant to forge the system which it'll be fit to yourself.

But I saw a video of your channel, and another one, and another one and so on...

    I have pickup back up a book project I stopped on to work on the degree. I learned a system of studying and writing while working on the degree. Writing this book gets me back into that system.

    Goals are nothing but milestones for short-term planning within the frame of your long-term direction. Vision, strategy, habits and perseverance (=the system / journey) are where it's at. Goals are just for tracking progress, but never a means in itself. That's why goals and the KPIs you track should be aligned, if not identical. If your goals are a means in itself, you will end up leapfrogging with no clear strategic direction: 100k, 200k, 300k etc. But what for!? Think of the end of the flagpole first! Also, thinking of yourself as a business might help: You can apply all those terms to your life just like managers apply them to a corporation.

    A proper system sets you up for falling into the pits of success while the most noble goal sets you up for failure more often than desired.
    Besides, how many people with the goal of climbing Mount Everest failed and died by being so motivated?
