  Podcasthero.com. Welcome to the Daily Quote, the

  podcast designed to kick start your day in a positive way.

  I'm your host, Anna McGivern. And let's jump into today's
• 0:12
  quote from James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, who once said
• 0:18
  you do not rise to the level of your goals.
• 0:20
  You fall to the level of your systems.
• 0:24
  Interesting. You fall to the level of your
• 0:28
  systems, not your goals. Your systems because everyone
• 0:33
  has goals. Every athlete wants to win.
• 0:37
  Every entrepreneur wants to succeed.
• 0:39
  Every person wants to lose weight or save money or learn
• 0:43
  something new. But goals don't differentiate
• 0:46
  winners from losers. Everyone in the race wants to
• 0:50
  win. What separates them is the
• 0:53
  system they built to get there. Your system is your habits.
• 0:59
  It's what you do every single day when no one's watching.
• 1:02
  It's the routine you follow when motivation runs out.
• 1:06
  You can set a goal to get in shape, but if your system
• 1:09
  involves sitting on the couch every night and eating pizza,
• 1:12
  you'll fall to the level of that system.
• 1:15
  The goal doesn't matter. Or you can set the same goal,
• 1:19
  but build a system where you prep healthy meals on Sunday,
• 1:23
  layout your workout clothes the night before, and schedule
• 1:27
  exercise like it's a doctor's appointment.
• 1:30
  Same goal, different system, very different result.
• 1:35
  James Clear is telling us to stop obsessing over the outcome
• 1:38
  and start building the daily habits that make the outcome
• 1:41
  inevitable. So here's the question.
• 1:44
  What's 1 system you could build today that would make your goal
• 1:49
  inevitable? Forget the outcome for a minute.
• 1:53
  Build the habit and trust the system.
• 1:58
  That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off
• 2:01
  for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
