There are some moments in life you will never forget. A few years ago one of my teachers gave a speech that will always stay with me.
One piece however, truly stuck out to me.
He told us that we must all "accept our condition" if we are going to move forward with our lives.
What did he mean by this?
He meant to accept exactly where you are right now in your life and understand how you got that.
To take it further, it means that you should look at all of the areas of your life - relationships, personal life, body etc and see things as they truly are.
The other important part? See things as they are and not how you think they should be.
The reason why you need to look at where you are now is...
It becomes the solid foundation that you can build your new life upon.
It allows you to take serious responsibility for how things are right now and gives you the ability to step into the goal setting process with vigor and motivation.
If you can accept where you are right now and accept that everything you've chosen in the past has led you right to this point, you will be on your way to creating a completely new life.
So how do you actually do this?
The best way I've been able to do this is to get a piece of paper and brainstorm everything surrounding your life at the moment. Where are you at? What has happened in your past that has really affected you?
When you do that it gives you a very clear and visual experience of what exactly is going on in your life. Further, it helps you organize everything...it's not just all floating around in your head.
You truly give yourself the chance to see what is going on in your life right now and start creating a map around where you want to head.
The second piece of this is to envision what you want in the future and start working backwards from Z to A.
Do this step by step and it will help you create a fantastic battle plan.
The last piece? Write lists of everything you need to know and everything you need to do to accomplish this vision.
The what you need to know part of the list should be a hell of a lot longer and more dense than the "what you know" part of the list. Truth is, you only have started to scratch the surface in a world full of knowledge.
So make sure you are really investing time into understanding what skills, resources, and competencies that you need to bring into your life...
Know that if you accept responsibility for everything, your life really gets a fresh start.
This process is magic.
