You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.
Before every #NBA season, every team has a desire to go to the Finals and win it all. Every member of every team wants to be a champion. 
And yet, not all of them do—only one #team wins.
Size of desire is not the difference maker in winning and losing.
So, what is?
It’s what we do with our desire that creates the real #difference.
OK, it IS important to have the goal identified so you have focus and direction, but once you have that in place, all of your energy should be directed towards #system building.
Systems are the small, incremental actions that compound into directional change toward the goals and objectives you set.
#Goals are awesome and needed, but they don’t change the world. What you say you want to do doesn’t impress me—we all want to build a legacy of changing the world and doing big things.
Rather, share with me what you’re doing every day that’s going to get you there—THAT will impress me.
That’s where the 
magic happens.
That’s where #aspirations turn into #activations and eventually #realizations.
#ThanksMatters
