“Process makes millionaires, and the events you see and hear are the results of that process.” MJ DeMarco
It took me years to step out of my victim mentality in terms of all the things which weren’t going well for me in life. Everything changed when I realized:
• I’m not out of shape; I just have a poor fitness and eating system.
• I’m not lazy; I just have a poor productivity and management system.
• I’m not poor; I just have a poor money system.
There are certainly people with deeply-rooted issues which better habits won’t fix, but for the vast majority of us, our lives are a result of the strength of our processes.
From James Clear:
You don’t need to clean your room. You need good cleanliness habits so your room will always be clean.
You don’t need more money. You need better money habits so you’ll always have plenty in your bank account.
You don’t need to ‘get in shape.’ You need better health habits so you are constantly fit.
Your bank account, your body, your life…how it looks right now is simply the result of each and every decision you’ve ever made.
