Plan for the End

“I do not plan for the start of the year. I plan for the end.” Lauryn Bosstick

I think Lauryn’s approach is the way we should do life. We envision what we want our lives to look like at the end, and then, we work backwards from there.

Michael Bosstick, Lauryn’s husband, said on their most recent podcast that he likes the obituary approach, where he writes one and then works backward and thinks about what he would have to do today to build a life that would be written about like that.

Sometimes, we get so consumed with the immediate circumstance and lose sight of the big picture. The fact that just like it only takes a split second in a game to score a goal and change the whole game, life changes (or can change) just as fast.

So what do you want your end of year to look like? What changes will take you there?
