The power of imagination—the ability to envision in your mind what you cannot, at present, see with your eyes.
Beginning with the End in Mind involves harnessing the power of your imagination to envision your dreams and goals before they become reality.
Your journey towards any dream or goal commences in the realm of your thoughts. It’s essential first to crystallize your larger vision – be it a life purpose, an overarching goal, or a mission that resonates with your unique experiences.
Prioritize your dream or end goal above all. When planning your path, resist the urge to start with the logistics or the ‘how.’
The ‘how’ will naturally unfold once your dream is clearly
defined in your mind.
The ‘how’ represents the steps you’ll take towards achieving your dream. They are the milestones on the journey to your ultimate destination.
Dedicate time this week to articulate your end goals, dreams, or mission. What do you aspire to achieve? What impact do you want to make, considering your cultural values, and personal experiences?
Remember, the clarity of your end goal is the foundation upon which you build the path to its realization.
How to begin with the end in mind
One: Begin with defining your end goal (who you want to be or what you want to achieve);
Two: Clarify your principles, values, and why you want the goal you defined. This will create and reinforce the motive needed to achieve your goal.
Three: Plan smaller stepping stones and micro goals and jump into action.
