5. So what do you want to be when you grow up
So what do you want to be when you grow up? We’ve all heard this question before, but think about it for a moment. Are you .. Right now.. Who you want to be, what you dreamed you’d be, doing what you always wanted to do? Be honest. Sometimes we find ourselves achieving victories that are empty…successes that have come at the expense of things that were far more valuable to us.

6. “Begin with the End in Mind”
Begin with the End in Mind is the second habit of Stephen Covey’s Highly Effective People. It is based on imagination…the ability to envision in your mind what you cannot at present see with your eyes. It’s about connecting again with your own uniqueness and then defining the personal, moral and ethical guidelines within which you can most happily express and fulfill yourself.
Activity: Turn to a partner at your table and briefly discuss a time you used this kind of begin with the end in mind approach in any part of your life and explain how it worked for you.
