Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind
Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind
Contenu
“Begin with the end in mind” means to start any action or project with a clear understanding of your purpose and desired outcome. It’s about having a vision of who you want to be and what you want to achieve — personally, professionally, and within your community. As Stephen Covey puts it, it is about “living by design, not by default.”
In youth work, this habit reminds us to act intentionally. Youth workers and young people alike benefit from defining their values, long-term goals, and the kind of impact they want to have. When we are clear about our purpose, our decisions become more meaningful and aligned with what truly matters.
For youth workers, “beginning with the end in mind” is also about designing learning experiences that help young people set meaningful goals, envision their future, and take steps toward it. When we help young people connect their everyday actions with their long-term aspirations, we support empowerment, self-leadership, and purpose-driven learning.
