Life is about adaptation and evolution
Here's another example of the dichotomy between being goal-oriented, and system-oriented.
Goal oriented is a fixed mindset. You want to be done once and for all. You are focused on finite, end result, a fixed point in the future. You are on the deferred life plan. You're disregarding the present moment, only obsessing about the future.
System oriented is an ongoing, constantly evolving, growth mindset. When system oriented, you're not aiming at a finish line because there's no finish line. Improvement never ends. You focus on the process, and on Improvement over results
Getting things done and actually enjoying the process is about systems, improvement and energy management rather than absolute goals.
