I hate wasting time and feeling lost.

I want to do so many things in life. But I always think that I'm not doing enough to be the kind of person who would achieve those things. And to be honest, that's a "me" problem.

So after lots of time sitting down, and thinking, I eventually got over my pity party and started learning from different people.

Atomic Habits by James Clear is the book that helped me realize the bottleneck to achieving my dreams and understanding that it's all about my identity each day.

Show up daily as the person you want to become

In his book, Clear stated that "Goals are about the results you want to achieve. Systems are about the processes that lead to those results."

He talked about the importance of setting a system of daily habits and the compounding of small changes resulting in remarkable results. Living your daily life with intention. You are showing up each day as the person who would achieve the dreams you have by a realistic system you created.

This is not "fake it 'til you make it," this is the process of growth you will learn and succeed from. So you have to be patient with yourself.

"The goal had always been there. It was only when they implemented a system of continuous small improvements that they achieved a different outcome."

Do you still have that dream on your mind?

How does that person reaching for that dream look like every day? List them down, show up as one, and trust the process.
