My Most Meaningful Habit: Begin with the End in Mind

 

Out of the seven habits of highly effective people, my most meaningful habit it “Begin with the End in Mind”. The book reads “There’s a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation. The first creation can be either by conscious design, or as a result of outside pressures. In real life, when the artist draws something, he already has a clear picture of what he is drawing. It is not possible that he draws when he is thinking about what to draw. If I have a clear vision of my destination, my efforts would be more effective and productive in my daily activities.

When we begin with the end in mind, our lives cam be more meaningful and stay on the righteous personal constitution. The book explains that a personal constitution is a written standard, the key criterion by which everything is evaluated and direct. Personal constitution shows the end state in mind. It shows who we are, what we do and what valued we are based on. Without it, we will wander around back and forth, and we may bypass what really counts. Our lives can deviate from moral standard easily and lose meaning quickly.

The 7 habits will help me fill my life with passion and purpose as I seek to achieve both a private and public victory. Habit 1 – Be proactive, Habit 2 – Begin with the end in mind, and Habit 3 – put first things first are vital tools for me to achieve private victory. They will help me conquer myself which is the biggest and most important success due to the fact that I am the person who have initiatives, store a clear vision in mind, and set my priorities.

Habit  4 to 6 will help me learn how to work with other people. I think win-win among people. I improve my listening skill so that I understand. I will also learn to have assertive communication so that other people will understand me. Eventually I will be able to synthesize energy and exponentially grow in relationship. It is a public victory. Habit 7 – Sharpen the saw - will help me to continue and improve my effectiveness.

  This is week 13 of the course of Introduction to the Entrepenurship. This week my Church leader taught about the gratitude.
