Thought:

Dreams are what we hope we can attain. Goals are how we hope to attain dreams. Systems are how we achieve our goals. Systems are the changes that we make that help us become. What are some systems that we have in the church to help us attain our goals? We pay tithes and offerings to help us demonstrate charity. We go to the temple regularly to help us bind ourselves to our ancestors. We go to church every week to take the sacrament to help us always remember him. Etc. etc. etc. When making goals, be sure to establish systems that will help you become someone who achieves their goals.

Misc: 

“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Your goal is your desired outcome. Your system is the collection of daily habits that will get you there. This year, spend less time focusing on outcomes and more time focusing on the habits that precede the results.”- James Clear

Invitation: 

Identify 3-5 things that you’d like to change, accomplish or adopt. As you consider what it will take to make them happen, create systems for each that will help you become the change that you’re trying to accomplish. Pick one system and put it into motion this week.
