Feature Article:  Are You Beginning with the End?

Although we're still in the midst of Summer, some of my  clients and friends are expressing concern that school and other Fall routines will be starting soon.  

This is a great time to check in and ask yourself:  What's left that I want to be sure to do this summer?  What must I accomplish by the end of Summer to ensure that I can look back and be pleased with how I spent my time and with how I "showed up" on a daily basis? 

In coaching, we keep the bigger picture in mind, so this brings us to the bigger picture of not just Summer, but.....your life!  What must you accomplish in this lifetime so that you can look back and feel pleased with how you spent your time and energy?

Here's a tip:  Begin With the End in Mind!   Remember the "Begin With the End in Mind" habit that Stephen Covey addressed in 7 Habits of Highly Effective People?   This habit is based on the principle that in order to create what you really want, you must first get clear on what it will look like, feel like, etc. when you get there so you can keep that end point in mind along the way.

So, when we look at our lives, it's helpful to look at how we want life to be at the end.  When we're experiencing the end of life,  what must we absolutely accomplish in order to feel good about our lives?  This same concept can be used right now, as you plan the remainder of your Summer.

Here are some questions to consider on this topic:
1.  After my life is over, how do I want to be remembered by my family and friends?  Why is this important to me?

2.  After my life is over, how do I want to be remembered by my work / business colleagues?  Why is this important to me?

3.  What are the accomplishments, personal and work related, that I must have completed by the end of this lifetime in order for me to feel complete?  How do these relate to my values and priorities?

4.   In order for me to accomplish those things, what are the goals and timelines I must set for each one?

5.  What is one thing that I can do, RIGHT NOW, to start taking action toward those goals?

6.  How will I spend the rest of my summer so that I am contributing toward the end results that I desire?

By taking the time to answer these questions, you will begin to more regularly honor the values and priorities that are most meaningful to you.  And, you will be spending your time and energy on the things that matter most to you. 

Will you start today and let me know how it goes?  Please send your feedback to coachcheryl@goalsinsight.com  as we'd love to hear from you!
