Starting with the End in Mind means developing a clear picture of where you want to go with your life

• Decide your values and set goals

What it Means

• You are the driver of your life, decide where you want to go!!

• Think beyond today and decide what direction you want to take

• You don't need to know what you want to do in life you just need to visualize what's walking towards you half a block away

You're at a critical

crossroads in life, and the paths you choose now can affect you forever, you have to choose which paths you take

What about college? What about work? What about drugs? What about a family

Crossroads

• What about school?

What you do about schooling can also shape your future in a major way. Beginnignwith the end in mind i you educational pursuits pays off.

• What about friends?

The need to be accepted is powerful and often we choose our friends on who will accept us. The wrong group can lead you down paths you really don't want to be on.

Going down the wrong paths can lead you down irriversible roads. "They don't tell you what it's like living on minimum wage because you had to drop out of high school."

True story from a teen, "I did everything, drinking, drugs, bad crowds, etc., it just lasted a year but I'm still paying for those mistakes. No one forgets and it's hard to have to deal with a past you aren't to proud of. It feels as though it will haunt me forever."

You may be thinking, "I'm gonn chill and think about the future when it comes. I like to live in the moment and go witht the flow."

We should enjoy the moment and not have our heads to far in the clouds.

But if you decide to just go with the floew you may end up where the flow goes, and sometimes it is headed straight towards the dump.

Living In The Moment

You need to decide what direction feels right for you because with no end in mind you loose control of your own life.

"One time I decided not to study for a test and just "go with the flow" I ended up getting a D- " -- Ashley L.

Watch out for dangerous road blocks!

#2 Giving Up:

When you've made a couple mistakes, don't feel bad about what you've done. Usually you'd tell yourself it's all over and give up, you'd end up self-destructing.

If you've made mistakes; Congradulations, you are normal!

#1 Negative Labels:

Labels are a form of pre-judging which mean making conclusions about someone without knowing them.

If your falsely labeled, you can live with it. But don't belive the labels yourself; you are not your labels, don't let labels limit you.

Road Blocks

"At one point in my life, I tried really hard to become popular, and ended up not paying to attention to how my grades were doing, and my real intentions in life; so in the end I became popular but was doing terribly in all other aspects of my life." --- Joya A.

#3 Wrong Road

Not walking down the road is one problem, but going down the wrong road is even bigger problem.

If you priroritize the wrong things, you end up forgetting which path you wanted to go down to begin with.

Strengths can come in many different forms and you may be talented in something you are not even good at. Everyone has a talent that can turn into a major strength.
