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.
One piece however, truly 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 by this?
He meant that you should understand exactly where you are in life and know why you got there.
It means looking at all different areas of your life - relationships, body, thoughts and emotions, and your environment (work, natural, etc) - and seeing things as they are...
The other important part? See things as they are and not how you think they should be.
The reason why you need to look at where you are now is...
It becomes the foundation for the life that you want to build.
Going through this process allows you to step right into building a new life without trying to escape your old one.
If you can accept where you are right now and accept that everything you've chosen in the past has led you right to this point, you will be on your way to creating a completely new life.
So, auditing your life...what does that actually mean in terms of implementation?
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?"
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.
You truly give yourself the chance to see what is going on in your life right now and start creating a map around where you want to head.
Understand what your vision is for the future and then work backwards from the end to what you have going on in your life right now.
If you do this piece by piece you can create milestones for yourself to build that battle plan of yours.
The last piece? Write lists of everything you need to know and everything you need to do to accomplish this vision.
Those lists of what you need to know will further guide you in the right direction.
So make sure you are really investing time into understanding what skills, resources, and competencies that you need to bring into your life...
Know that if you accept responsibility for everything, your life really gets a fresh start.
This process is magic.
