Para que faça sentido "Begin with the end in mind"

Começar com o FIM na nossa mente, só é possível, se a montante assumirmos uma postura mental proactiva.

Do já referido livro de Stephen Covey:

"It means more than merely taking initiative. It means that as human beings, we are responsible for our own lives. Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions. We can subordinate feelings to values. We have the initiative and the responsibility to make things happen.
Look at the word responsibility - "response-ability" - the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circunstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling.
Because we are, by nature, proactive, if our lives are a function of conditioning and conditions, it is because we have, by conscious decision, or by default, chosen to empower those things to control us."

Quando decidimos dar o poder às circunstâncias exteriores: acreditamos que o destino já está traçado e o destino é que manda; esperamos que um "papá", um herói salvador intervenha para nos salvar.
