Begin with the End in Mind
“Control Your Own Destiny or Someone Else Will”
This writing assignment is inspired by the idea from
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey.
“Begin with the end in mind” means thinking about the kind of person you want to become before you make decisions. It means having a vision for your life instead of just reacting to what happens.
The statement “Control your own destiny or someone else will” reminds us that if we don’t make our own choices, other people, peer pressure, trends, or circumstances will decide for us.
📝 Writing Prompt
