A long time ago, I had a teacher give us a holiday pep talk right before Thanksgiving.
Absolutely everything he said was amazing, however there was one piece that truly struck me.
He told us that we must all "accept our condition" if we are going to move forward with our lives.
What do I mean by this?
He meant that if you can accept the way you are now, you can give yourself access to changing who you want to be.
If you take it a few steps further, you have to look at your entire life in depth and understand where you can make improvements.
The other part of the equation is being able to see yourself as you are and not as you think you are.
Why is it so important to do this?
All of the truth and honesty is exactly what you need to build a solid life upon.
This process of going through self reflection and introspection allows you to create the life you've always wanted to live.
If you can stop avoiding the past, come to terms with it, and then start focusing on moving forward...that's how you start building a new life completely. But if you don't clean up your past you are asking for serious trouble.
So how do we actually do this audit in real terms?
The best way of making this happen is to get a massive piece of paper and map out exactly where you are right now.
This will give you the experience of being able to see what your life's landscape looks like at the moment.
When you audit your life, you give yourself the ability to go, "Okay, where do I want to be? What do I see for myself?"
The other piece of this puzzle is to envision what is in the future for you and to work backwards from there.
If you can do this piece by piece, you have created battle plans to work with.
This will give you a sense of grounding and foundation as you head into the unknown future because you will know what decisions will get you towards your goals.
Another aspect of the audit is understand what you don't know and what you do know. Making lists of all of the things you need to learn in order to become successful will always be a huge leg up for you.
So take some time to understand exactly where you are at and where you want to be. It will be worth it in the long run.
To help you get from where you are now to where you need to be in the future.
This process is pure magic.
