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.
The words he spoke were impactful and really changed how I looked at life.
He told us that we must "accept our condition."
What do I mean by this?
Accepting your condition is all about understanding exactly where you are at in life.
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...
Not as you want them to be.
Why is it so important to do this?
It becomes the foundation for the life that you want to build.
It allows you to accept your current condition which is probably the most important parts of the goal setting process.
Accept where you are now, accept that your actions in the past have driven you to the place where you are at this moment, and you will be on your way along the developmental process and the goal setting path.
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 give yourself the chance to really see the landscape and then start creating your future one step at a time.
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.
Step by step by step by step.
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?"
That what you need to know list should be a hell of a lot longer than the what you know list.
So take some time to understand the landscape and begin to invest in yourself so you can start to move forward in this life.
Know that this is only the beginning and the best is coming your way.
This process is pure magic.
