You\u2019ve heard the saying,\u00a0\u201cBegin with the end in mind,\u201d\u00a0<\/i>right?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s near the top of Steven Covey\u2019s 7 Habits of Highly Successful People.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The saying sounds straightforward, but \u201cthe end\u201d he\u2019s referring to?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There\u2019s actually a TWIST.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you create a vision for yourself \u2014 aka your goals \u2014 you create it TWICE.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0First, in your mind<\/p>\n
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Second, in your physical life<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And here\u2019s the kicker:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The vision you create in your mind is the BLUEPRINT for what you physically create.<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is why it is SO IMPORTANT to keep the end \u2014 what you\u00a0really<\/i>\u00a0want \u2014 in mind. And to think about it often!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you want to take it next level and solidify it (and separate yourself from the majority), then write it down in a journal.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you do that, your vision becomes your TEMPLATE for success.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On the flip side, when you\u2019re not intentional about keeping your vision in mind, then your circumstances (and other people!) can start to shape what that \u201cend\u201d looks like.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And when this happens, there\u2019s a good chance that the \u201cend\u201d will serve them (or your circumstances) more than it serves YOU.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So, take some time over the next couple of days to create that \u201cend\u201d vision for yourself \u2014 and then come up with a strategy to keep it in mind.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And if you want a pro-level tip? Read it first thing every day when you wake up to prime your mind and get you focused!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
