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 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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
All of this is magic.
