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.
One piece however, truly stuck out to me.
He said that we all must accept who we are if we are going to move forward with our lives.
What do I mean by this?
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 important part is to see them as they are and not how you think they should have been.
Why is this important?
It becomes the solid foundation that you can build your new 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 yourself for who you truly are, you then are able to move forward into creating a beautiful new future. But if you leave the past a mess, you're 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.
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 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 give you a sense of grounding and foundation as you head into the unknown future because you will know what decisions will get you towards your goals.
Another aspect of the audit is understand what you don't know and what you do know. Making lists of all of the things you need to learn in order to become successful will always be a huge leg up for you.
So take some time to understand the landscape and begin to invest in yourself so you can start to move forward in this life.
To help you get from where you are now to where you need to be in the future.
All of this is pure magic.
