When Is Your Finish Line?

I was introduced to the concept of “begin with the end in mind” by Stephen Covey in his book “The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People”.

It is a great concept. Decide what you want your life to look like and spend each day working towards your desired outcome. There are a lot of issues with this concept. Your goal can seem incredibly far off, you lose faith and quit, you can feel like you are not making any progress and you can feel like you don’t have enough time to accomplish your goals.?

The first thing we must do is enjoy the journey. If we only expect joy at the destination, we’ll never have joy because the destination will always move. There will always be bigger goals to chase.?

The next thing is to reconsider how much time you have to accomplish your goals. This is the concept that was cemented in my brain by Dan Sullivan’s book, “My Plan to Live to 158.” If you had a lot more time on this earth what could you accomplish? Would you dream bigger dreams?

I wrote about a quick and easy exercise that will allow you to reconsider your timeline along with some tips on achieving a transformational workplace and how to encourage constructive dissent.

Be Blessed!?
