In the book
The most powerful framing of all is to begin with the end in mind: picture the very end of your life, the eulogy you would want, and use that as the reference point against which you measure everything else. Aim it, too, at your real strengths — look inside, find your strongest threads, and reinforce them with practice until you can build a role around them; you will recognize those gifts by three clues: the things you yearn toward, the skills you pick up unusually fast, and the work that leaves you satisfied. And give your goal a why larger than yourself, because when the aim is to contribute to something bigger you work just as hard but the fuel runs deeper and steadier. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
