There are some moments in life you will never forget. A few years ago one of my teachers gave a speech that will always stay with me.
The words that came out of his mouth hit ready ears and they changed my life for good.
Accept your condition.
What did he mean by this?
He meant to accept exactly where you are right now in your life and understand how you got that.
To take it further, it means that you should look at all of the areas of your life - relationships, personal life, body etc and see things as they truly are.
The other important part? See things as they are and not how you think they should be.
Why is it absolutely critical to do this?
It builds the foundation for the next steps of where you want to go
It allows you to take serious responsibility for how things are right now and gives you the ability to step into the goal setting process with vigor and motivation.
If you can accept where you are right now and accept that everything you've chosen in the past has led you right to this point, you will be on your way to creating a completely new life.
So how do you actually do this?
The best way I've been able to do this is to get a piece of paper and brainstorm everything surrounding your life at the moment. Where are you at? What has happened in your past that has really affected you?
When you engage in this practice you get everything that is floating around in your head on paper and it helps you to start sorting things out.
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 second piece of this is to envision what you want in the future and start working backwards from Z to A.
Do this step by step and it will help you create a fantastic battle plan.
The last piece? Write lists of everything you need to know and everything you need to do to accomplish this vision.
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 seriously understand where you are at and how you need to go to where you want to go.
To help you get from where you are now to where you need to be in the future.
This process is magic.
