Habit 2 Beginning with the end in mind

Habit #2 Beginning with the end in mind

Think/ Pair/ Share 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?

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. 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

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.

Go back to your vision statement (on your journal) and read it to a partner

Critical Crossroads that may impact that vision –How would each impact your vision? ? Death of a loved one family financial issues Not enough credits to graduate jail time DUI STD Change your mind about college move to a different State Injury from a sport Car accident- Injury and bills Drug addiction Teen Pregnancy Illness/ Disease Joined a gang

At these crossroads… You have to decide whether you will be Proactive or Reactive (Habit #1!!!) If you are proactive at these crossroads then it will be easier to get to the end vision that you want.

Mission Statement What is it? How is it different than a mission A mission statement is a motto that states what your life is about, reason for living, and overall existence Following and staying true to this mission will lead you to your vision. Whereas your vision is what the successful future you looks like, feels like, and acts like.
