Begin with the end in mind

Somehow out of all the 7 items of Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, this is the one i remember the most. Maybe because out of all the 7, this is the one I keep failing to do.

Begin with the End in Mind. And stay focused!
Temptations will come along the way, and we for the most part [being human], are weak.

Just for reference, let us remember the 7 habits that we should try to reflect on once in a while:

• Habit 1: Be Proactive
• Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
• Habit 3: Put First Things First
• Habit 4: Think Win/Win
  
• Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
• Habit 6: Synergize
• Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
