Habit #2 is based on the principle that all things are created twice:
What is Beginning with the end in mind all about?
Successful people make a conscious decision about where they want to go in life based on their values. Beginning with the end in mind is not about deciding every little detail of the future, such as choosing a career or deciding whom to marry. It is about thinking beyond today and deciding which direction to take, so each step is in the right direction. It means to plan each week in advance and then to begin each day, task or project with a clear vision of the desired direction and destination.
How can I incorporate Habit #2 into my life?
The best way to incorporate habit #2 into your life is to write a personal mission statement. A personal mission statement is like a personal motto that states what your life is about. It is your own personal blueprint. When you are faced with challenges and making tough decisions, a personal mission statement will keep you focused on what you want to be and do in your life. It puts your goals into focus and reaffirms who you are. Missions statements come in all varieties. Some are long, some are short. Some people use poems, songs, or favorite quotes as their mission statement.
