A few years ago, I had a teacher give us a small speech right before we left for the holidays.
Absolutely everything he said was amazing, however there was one piece that truly struck me.
He told us that we must all "accept our condition" if we are going to move forward with our lives.
What did he really mean?
He meant that you should understand exactly where you are in life and know why you got there.
If you take it a few steps further, you have to look at your entire life in depth and understand where you can make improvements.
The other incredibly important part of this is being honest with yourself about where you're at.
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?
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 perfect opportunity to understand exactly what your life looks like at the moment.
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 last part of all of this is that you have to see as far as you can see down the line and start creating 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 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 some time to understand exactly where you are at and where you want to be. It will be worth it in the long run.
To help you get from where you are now to where you need to be in the future.
All of this is magic.
