Take a few minutes to write down two or three ways you’d like to be described by your campers when they’re telling their friends or parents about you after camp is over. For the summer you are about to begin, ask yourself, “How do I want to be remembered by my campers?” I suggest starting each new endeavor of your life with this “Begin with the End in Mind” habit. Ask yourself, “What is it that I want to be remembered for?” It may sound morbid, but asking yourself how you want people to remember you - what you want your legacy to be - helps guide your actions today. Likewise, by looking at the really big picture of your life, you can envision its end and consider the blueprint you need to implement to get the life you want. Then you can create the action plan for the steps you need to take to reach the project outcome you’ve envisioned. For example, if you want to do a great job on a school project, first decide what the great finished project will look like. In his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey describes Habit 2, “Begin with the End in Mind,” as a valuable approach to just about anything in life.
