A few years ago I listened to one of my teachers give our class a Holiday pep talk before we left for vacation and I never forgot it.
The words he spoke were impactful and really changed how I looked at life.
Accept your condition.
What did he really mean?
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 important part is to see them as they are and not how you think they should have been.
Why is it so important to do this?
It builds the foundation for the next steps of where you want to go
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 how do you actually go through the process of auditing your life?
The best way to do this is to get on a huge chalkboard and draw out your entire life answering the question of where you are at.
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.
What's the last piece of all of this? Write down everything you need to know and everything you have to engage in to accomplish this end goal.
Those lists of what you need to know will further guide you in the right direction.
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 will do you wonders.
