I\u2019ve always taught teens what I learned from an award wining author. Painters often do this as well. What do you want the ending to say, to look like, to be? Start there and work backwards. Start with the longterm and set the short term to get there. Look at the very last day of your life. How do you want that to be? How do you get there? If you want to be surrounded by loved ones, you better love them now. Build those relationships each day. Do you want to draw retirement? Invest now. Do you want to be well read or have an education that opportunity didn\u2019t give you? Pick up the books now. Study on your own. Reach for your goals but do not put them off. Do a little something everyday that will contribute to the longterm goal.<\/div>\n<\/div>
