Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind

If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his own decision-making process.

“Keep your eye on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target mind; know where you are going.

One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school—that you will receive your diploma honestly and with integrity—that you earned it with perfect honesty.
