Begin with the End in Mind | Habit 2 | Ep 7/13

Today, we shall discuss habit number two of Stephen Covey’s best-selling book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People ” which is, to Begin with the End in Mind. Here, I need to remind you that this animation is part of 7 Habits Series based on what I have learned from Covey’s bestselling book.

Now, let us come back to today’s topic: Begin with the End in Mind. It is exactly what I used to struggle within my life. I often got distracted with the daily chore and forget what exactly I am about to achieve as a whole. This tendency of mine rendered me ineffective. I was busy but not effective. I was working hard but not achieving much. Then I befriended Stephen Covey and his book. I got to realize that my ladder was leaning towards the wrong wall and I was moving fast in the wrong direction. Covey suggests having a very clear mission of our life. Then every step of ours and every bit of our work will move us closer to our ultimate goal. Without a clear sense of direction and priorities, we tend to get distracted and diffused. We may end up achieving professional competence, recognition or money at the cost of our health, relationships, and peace of mind.
