I am so thankful for people like Stephen Covey in the world who seek to help others succeed. It was so valuable to read through the summery of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People". Each habit is useful but I found the second habit to be most impactful to me.
Habit 2 is "Begin with the End in Mind"...
"To begin with the end in mind requires a clear vision of your destination, and where you now are. Then you can clarify what needs to yet be done to get where you’d like to end up. It’s easy to get so caught up in climbing the ladder of success that you fail to make sure the ladder is leaning against the right wall. It’s easy to be busy without being effective, to score many hollow victories at the expense of critical events. We may be very busy, we may even be very efficient, but we will only be truly effective when we begin with an end in mind."
I have good intentions but often don't take the mental time to develop a clear and specific vison of my destination, so I never really reach my goals. I want to put this into practice for my life and be more mindful of my destination.
