Systems Vs Goals (Edited Republish)

There are various systems at work in our world, ranging from financial markets to political processes. These mechanisms are present in every setting where activities take place, regardless of how obvious they are.

Since the systems I write about come before any outcomes, there is a consequence (effect) for every system (cause). People can only learn some things through an established educational system.The country's judicial system, or judiciary, is in charge of interpreting, upholding, and enforcing the law as well as arbitrating cases. There are even mechanisms in place to manage people and nations. Perhaps you're wondering what systems need to accomplish in regard to objectives. Results are always preceded by organized systems. The fact that we all have goals but don't have any mechanisms in place to guarantee that we achieve them is really concerning.

It's common for people to make resolutions for the upcoming year at the start of each year. Though most people have a large list of things they would like to alter, very few people actually follow through on these ideas. Setting goals and putting them in writing is one thing; implementing new and improved systems is quite another. Allow me to illustrate my point with an example of saving money. The majority of us have financial savings objectives, but only a small percentage of us follow through on them. The aim (result) will take care of itself if we concentrate on the cause, which is the system.

If you want to have a summer body throughout the year, you must set up a system that allows you to have a summer body not just during the summer but during every season. I'm not saying that you shouldn't create objectives; rather, I'm supporting systems. Setting goals is just that—goals. Systems complete tasks. A product's objectives (effect) rather than its causes (system) are what you see when you see it on the shelf. We tend to assume that success just happens because so many successful people show us their financial gains and rarely the techniques they employed.

I'm trying to say that if we want to succeed in our endeavours, we need to start thinking like about systems. Those who have big dreams of becoming millionaires but don't put the necessary procedures in place to make those dreams come true will always be living in "dreamland". Individuals who aspire to have better connections but do not provide any framework to facilitate them are losing the war. Every wealthy, content, and healthy person has a system in place; the same is true for those who are ill, depressed, or living in poverty.

1. There are two systems: one that precedes poverty and the other that leads to wealth.

2. There are two paths: one that leads to heaven and the other to hell. 

3. There are two systems: one that comes before losing and the other before winning.

Despite the fact that many of us desire money (effect), our systems (cause) trap us in poverty. While many of us desire to enter paradise, our current systems are sending us to hell. Many of us desire to succeed, but our processes lead to failure.

Note: Adjust your systems rather than your BIG goals.

Imagine You Are A Success

Psychology says that we are controlled by what we think, believe or imagine more than any other factor. Our beliefs control everything we do, If we believed (or rather imagined) that wearing clothes was useless, we would all be walking around naked. It is very imperative that we understand that we control our lives through the type of thoughts we choose to hold in our minds. Take the person who jumps in front of a speeding car on the highway(commits suicide), in their mind their action is justified and probably seen as necessary hence it is carried out. Now that i have laid my foundation... In his book Psychocybernetics, Maxwell Maltz says "Realizing that our actions, feelings and behavior are the e result of our own images and beliefs gives us the lever that psychology has always needed for changing personality.Mental pictures offer us an opportunity to "practice" new traits and attitudes, which otherwise we could not do.  This is possible because again—your nervous sy...

The Unwritten Rules of Africa: Navigating a Complex Identity (Economics part 1)

The economic life of the African continent is shaped by a complex mix of historical events and current realities. To truly understand it, we must examine the deep-rooted challenges and psychological patterns that emerged from centuries of outside control and resource extraction. A History of Economic Struggle The rule of economic struggle is deeply rooted in a colonial history of dependency. Foreign powers didn't just come to trade; they methodically took apart existing African economies. They dismissed local practices as "outdated" and forced new systems upon the people. This historical redirection of resources created a fundamental weakness, turning the continent into a mere supplier of raw materials. All the infrastructure they built, like railways and ports, was primarily designed to transport these resources from inland to the coast for export. This framework created an economic gap and a dependency that has continued long after African nations gained their independe...

A Transformed Mind

Many of us are rigid in thought hence we are stagnant in life. The good news is that we have the ability to change our minds - our thought patterns (perceptions, beliefs..) One of my prayers these days is "God transform my mind". That is because i am well aware that if my mind is transformed, my life will be transformed. Our thoughts are often revealed in our actions. I am writing this right now because an idea came into my mind and i thought it was a great idea to express my revelation about my life in this manner. The action is preceded by thought. The word transformation is a compound word - transition & form or "formation". A transition takes time so it is imperative that we are patient and recognize that it will take time for our minds to be transformed. Transformation is a process often filled with pain and fear. That does not mean we must not persue change but bear in mind that it will be challenging.  Behaviors and/or habits lead to results but we often ...
