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 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 this so important?
It becomes the solid foundation that you can build your new life upon.
This process of going through self reflection and introspection allows you to create the life you've always wanted to live.
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 in real terms?
My favorite way of doing this is getting on a huge chalkboard and drawing the whole thing out in terms of, "Where am I now?"
This will give you the experience of being able to see what your life's landscape looks like at the moment.
The next big question you have to ask yourself is, "Where do I want to be?"
The other piece of this puzzle is to envision what is in the future for you and to work 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 make you grounded in the future as you know what you are heading towards and what you want with your life.
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.
To help you get from where you are now to where you need to be in the future.
All of this is pure magic.
