A long time ago, I had a teacher give us a holiday pep talk right before Thanksgiving.
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 do I mean by this?
He meant that you should understand exactly where you are in life and know why you got there.
To take it a few steps further, it means that you truly have to look into all areas of your life and understand why they are how they are - relationships, money, job, body etc.
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?
It becomes the solid foundation that you can build your new life upon.
Going through this process allows you to step right into building a new life without trying to escape your old one.
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, auditing your life...what does that actually mean in terms of implementation?
The best way of doing this is to get a huge piece of paper and write out exactly where you are right now.
When you go through this process it really gives you great visual experience of what's going on in your life and how you need to reorganize everything.
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 do this piece by piece you can create milestones for yourself to build that battle plan of yours.
This will give you a milestone based path instead of going into something completely blind. Then, out of those big milestones, write little lists underneath of, "What do I know now & what do I need to know?"
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 the landscape and begin to invest in yourself so you can start to move forward in this life.
To help you get from where you are now to where you need to be in the future.
This process is pure magic.
