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.
Accept your condition.
What do I mean by this?
Accepting your condition is all about understanding exactly where you are at in life.
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.
Not as you want them to be.
The reason why you need to look at where you are now is...
It becomes the solid foundation that you can build your new life upon.
It allows you to accept your current condition which is probably the most important parts of the goal setting process.
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?
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 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?"
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.
If you do this piece by piece you can create milestones for yourself to build that battle plan of yours.
What's the last piece of all of this? Write down everything you need to know and everything you have to engage in to accomplish this end goal.
Those lists of what you need to know will further guide you in the right direction.
So make sure you are really investing time into understanding what skills, resources, and competencies that you need to bring into your life...
To help you get from where you are now to where you need to be in the future.
This process is magic.
