"You do not rise to the level of your goals. you fall to the level of your systems" is one famous quote by James Clear on goals and systems.
Explanation:
People mainly talk about setting goals to achieve an objective, but setting goals does not necessarily lead to a success in achieving the objective. One might succeed in few goals that are laid out , but be unsuccessful in others.
The results that one gets, have very little to do with the goals, and everything with the system that one follows.
For example: the goal of a businessman would be, to be very successful in his business and earn billions of dollars. But, he has to use the right system to do so.
Hiring the right kind of employee, the right advertisement campaigns etc is the system by which he can reach his goals. Thus, only setting goals should not be given priority, but priority should be given to the systems that help in achieving the goal.
