Although Habit 2 applies to many different circumstances and levels of life, the most fundamental
application of "Begin with the end in mind" is to begin today with the image, picture, or paradigm of
the end of your life as your frame of reference or the criterion by which everything else is examined.
Each part of your life-today's behavior, tomorrow's behavior, next week's behavior, next month's
behavior-can be examined in the context of the whole, of what really matters most to you. By
keeping that end clearly in mind, you can make certain that whatever you do on any particular day
does not violate the criteria you have defined as supremely important, and that each day of your life
contributes in a meaningful way to the vision you have of your life as a whole
What is the main idea of the paragraph above?
Begin with the end in mind means examining today's behavior, and tomorrow's behavior and aligning what
you do to what matters most to you.
Begin with the end in mind means thinking about what you want today, and how to achieve it.
O Begin with the end in mind means thinking about the past and coming up with a plan.
