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 did he really mean?
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 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 it so important to do this?
Because the honesty is the thing in which you can build the foundation of 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.
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?
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.
Then, you have to ask yourself, "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 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.
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 the landscape and begin to invest in yourself so you can start to move forward in this life.
And this will help you achieve your greatest vision.
All of this is magic.
