The System
Systems need to be updated and changed constantly or else they become outdated. Their original purpose and intent may not change but the implementation needs to be updated or the system will stray from it's original purpose.
I've seen people buck up against the system from the outside. And they rarely make a dent. They fight the system from the outside and aren't able to make the changes they attempt.
But those who change and update the system do so from the inside. Inside is where they can push, bend and change the system. I'm not referring to undermining something, but pushing to make the system more relevant and better. Pushing to enhance and grow the system.
Systems have in place a certain amount of inertia that can be tapped into. Outside the system you won’t find the same inertia to tap into. Creating that inertia from scratch can be slow, cumbersome and almost insurmountable.
Tap the system and make it better when possible. Bucking up against it is a a very low probability strategy.

If you are a part of a system, I always try too leave it better than I found it.....
