HABIT #2: BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND
Lesson 9: Mental Creation Precedes Physical creation
|
If you think about the future, you maybe find yourself visualizing what it will look like and who you will be. You may imagine yourself doing a job you love or raising a family. It is important to have these visualizations about where you want to go in life because they help you to make the sometimes tough choices that will make that picture a reality.
Watch Simba sing about his future. What did he visualize? Did he achieve those goals? |

Lesson 10: Choices and Consequences
Every choice you make has a consequence. Have you ever made a choice you regretted? It is probably because you were unhappy with the consequence!! One naturally leads to the other. Make sure to remember that when you are struggling to make the right choice. The video below shows how making the wrong decision could have ended up with a deadly consequence.

Lesson 11: Personal Mission Statement
|
Do you know what a motto is? It is a sentence or phrase that captures the beliefs or ideas of a person or a group. A mission statement is much like a motto. It reminds you of what is important to you and what you stand for. When life throws you a curve-ball and things aren't going the way you want, your mission statement will remind you of what is really important and what you need to focus on.

Lesson 12: goal Setting
|
Setting a goal is as simple as figuring out something you would like to accomplish and setting yourself a deadline to make it happen. Some goals will be easy. Some will be tough. Some will be impossible to reach, but you will become better in the process. Watch the video with Ormie The Pig. His goal is lofty, but he perseveres as he encounters many obstacles! |
|
Lesson 13: Goal Tracking
You are much more likely to achieve you goal if you write it down. You also increase the odds of meeting your goal if you track your progress and even more so if you tell someone about your goal and your progress. It would be hard to watch a sport without a scoreboard...goals are no different. Make sure you keep score!

Hollywood Habits: THe Lorax
|
It seems as though people do not think with the End in Mind when it comes to the environment. For generations, humans have used natural resources from our planet with little regard for the future. How could being proactive and beginning with the end in mind change our future when it comes to the Earth?
