A few years ago, I had a teacher give us a small speech right before we left for the holidays.
Everything he said was amazing, but one piece stuck out to me.
He said that we all must accept who we are if we are going to move forward with our lives.
What did he mean?
He meant that if you can accept the way you are now, you can give yourself access to changing who you want to be.
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 incredibly important part of this is being honest with yourself about where you're at.
Why is this important?
Because the honesty is the thing in which you can build the foundation of your new life upon.
Going through this process of self reflection allows you to create a new life and ditch the old one.
When you can stop avoiding the past and accept the mistakes you have made, you free yourself from something that could be holding you back for the rest of your life.
So, auditing your life...what does that actually mean in terms of implementation?
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.
Then, you have to ask yourself, "Where do I want to be?"
And lastly, you have to envision as far as you can down the line and start working a plan backwards from there.
If you can do this step by step, you have battle plans that will help you move into the future with a specific plan.
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 beneficial aspect to doing this process is that you begin to figure out what you don't know and what you do know. Knowing both of these aspects of your life is going to help you move forward into the future as well.
So take a chunk of time out of your day to understand where you are exactly and where you need to be.
And this will help you achieve your greatest vision.
All of this is pure magic.
