Beginning with the end in mind

Why was easier for student A to put the puzzle together?
Think of the puzzle pieces as the pieces of your life. Do you have a clear end in mind? Do you have a vision or a glimpse of what your future will look like?
How can having a vision or end goal, help you put the pieces together in your life puzzle?

3. Habit 2 BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND
Control your own destiny or Someone Else Will Define your mission and goals in life. All things are created twice – first mentally, second physically. Individuals, families, teams, and organizations shape their own future by creating a mental vision and purpose for any project. They don’t just live day to day without a clear purpose in mind. They mentally identify and commit themselves to the principles, values, relationships, and purposes that matter most to them.
What does this teen look like? What does the defective teen look like?
The defective teen: Begin with no end in mind- no plans, no goals, living only for the moment, no worrying about the consequences of our actions 3

4. Beginning with the end in mind
It’s like creating an outline before you write an essay, following a recipe to bake a cake, or drawing up a blue print before you build a house
Having an end goal in mind helps you navigate and map out a plan to get there and make your vision a reality.
