A few years ago, one of my teachers gave us a Holiday pep talk before we left class and put forth a few pieces of information that I never forgot.
Absolutely everything he said was amazing, however there was one piece that truly struck me.
He said that we must first accept who we are if we are going to make changes in our lives.
What do I mean by this?
He meant that if you can accept the way you are now, you can give yourself access to changing who you want to be.
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 important part is to see them as they are and not how you think they should have been.
Why is this so important?
All of the truth and honesty is exactly what you need to build a solid life upon.
Going through this process allows you to step right into building a new life without trying to escape your 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 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 perfect opportunity to understand exactly what your life 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.
The what you need to know part of the list should be a hell of a lot longer and more dense than the "what you know" part of the list. Truth is, you only have started to scratch the surface in a world full of knowledge.
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.
This will help you achieve your greatest dreams.
This process is pure magic.
