The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)

"Control your own destiny or someone else will." means that others will make decisions that will effect your future if you don't take control of your own. Such as there are always people waiting to take advantage of others. Habit 2 wants you to begin with the end in mind. This means that in your head you have to already know what you want your outcome to be. Then you have to work hard to make that outcome possible. This means you are just creating goals and working towards them. Such as if you want to be a professional basketball player. You must practice hard and give it your best always. Another example is our goals journal, everyday we write in our goals journal and we try our best to complete as many as possible. We are already creating outcomes in our head because we are hoping for whatever we write down.
