A long time ago, I had a teacher give us a holiday pep talk right before Thanksgiving.
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 if you can see who you are right now in full honesty, you can move forward in becoming who you want to be.
To take it a few steps further, it means that you truly have to look into all areas of your life and understand why they are how they are - relationships, money, job, body etc.
The other part of the equation is being able to see yourself as you are and not as you think you are.
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.
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, auditing your life...what does that actually mean in terms of implementation?
The best way of doing this is to get a huge piece of paper and write out exactly where you are right 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 can do this piece by piece, you have created battle plans to work with.
This will give you a milestone based path instead of going into something completely blind. Then, out of those big milestones, write little lists underneath of, "What do I know now & what do I need to know?"
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 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.
