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 did he mean?
He meant that you should understand exactly where you are in life and know why you got there.
If you want to take it even further, you are going to have to look at every single aspect of your life and decide where the room for improvement is.
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 of self reflection allows you to create a new life and ditch the 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 how do we actually do this audit?
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?"
And lastly, you have to envision as far as you can down the line and start working a plan 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 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 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.
All of this is pure magic.
