There’s a line in that book that’s stuck with me:
“We don’t rise to the level of our goals.
We fall to the level of our systems.”
And at the root of those systems?
👉 Your environment.
Let’s talk science for a second.
James Clear shares a story about how European farmers advanced faster than others—not because they were more talented—but because their land ran east to west, which made it easier to grow crops.
That one advantage?
It compounded over generations—shaping population growth, innovation, and more.
💥 The point?
Even the most gifted people struggle in the wrong environment.
But the right one? That’s rocket fuel.
So if you’ve been feeling stuck or scattered lately…
Maybe it’s not you.
Maybe it’s your system.
Maybe it’s your environment.
Something to think about as you move through this week. 👣
