Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not to your understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.

- Proverbs 3:5-6

This verse is inscribed in my heart as I begin this essay, this day, and this month. I had a long list of things I wanted to get done this month, but the Lord spoke to me through this passage. We may devise numerous strategies, but the final outcome is ultimately in God's hands. Entrusting all to Him is the best and most important decision we can make.

Leaning on our knowledge will certainly lead to our demise. We must accept the simple fact that great things happen only when we choose to surrender them to the Almighty. Don't be disheartened if you don't attain your goals in life; believe in your heart that God has so much in store for you, and all you have to do is trust Him and His promises.

I started my day with a prayer and a grateful heart. This month, I just want to attract positivity and stay away from negativity. To enable that to come to life, I certainly know that I have to change my system and the process of how I live my day-to-day life.

We've been accustomed to always setting goals every month so that, we have reasons to be motivated and grind on. But all throughout the month of May, I have realized something different (credits to the book entitled Atomic Habits.). There's a lot actually but I am only gonna share this one...

"Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress."

We could set several goals all we want but after achieving those things? What's next? After having a fit body wants next? After accumulating that amount of money what's next? Certainly, a lot of people would tend to go back to their old habits after achieving their goals. But if you choose to focus on your system- the process, you will see yourself getting better every day.

To make myself clearer, allow me to share this sample with you...

Goal: Physically fit

System: Exercise everyday, eat vegetables and fruits, drink a lot of water, and avoid stress.

If we want to achieve something, let's start changing the process.

• Read not less than 20 articles every day and understand them genuinely.

• Use new words in articles to improve my vocabulary.

• Write no more than 2 articles per day.

If I'll be able to do all those things this month, I'll surely become a good writer and accumulate enough BCH.

• Exercise at least 15 minutes daily.

• Drink 2 liters of water everyday.

• Drink fruits shakes

• Refrain from eating junkfoods and chocolates.

This will surely make me physically fit at the end of the month.

Conclusion

Everyone can set goals, but not all will be able to achieve them. Processes don't need to be massive, tiny changes will do. It may seem insignificant in the meantime, but you will eventually see its effect in the long run.

Always remember that...

"You do not rise to the level of your goals, You fall to the level of your systems."
