23 | Where you are isn’t who you are, but…

Continuing from the previous talk about looking ahead and deciding where you want your life to go— in multiple areas (each of them important)….

… we come to step 2.

👇

STEP 2 = DEFINE WHRE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW

You must do this with radical clarity.

For instance…

💰If you plan to get out debt, you must know what you owe, you must know what you’re spending (the bigger issue in budget is often what’s going OUT and now what’s coming IN).

📕 If you propose to write a book you must know what stories and ideas and assets and recordings and other resources you’re starting with…

📈 If you’re projecting a fundraiser or an event, you need to know the date, the location, the lead team, the business plan, the “win” for the event, and more…

This is true with everything we do from losing weight to starting projects to building relationships.

But…

… we often avoid radical clarity, because we (wrongly) attach our identity to “where we are.” That is, we (wrongly) connect our identity to externals measurements.

💔

The truth…

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Where you are isn’t who you are.

Where you are isn’t where you must remain.

Where you are IS where you must begin.

🔥🔥🔥

So…

Go back to step #1 | DECIDE WHERE YOU WANT TO GO (in each area of life).

And,

DEFINE WHERE YOU ARE NOW— in each of those areas.

So you can,

DETERMINE THE STEPS REQUIRED— no matter how many or how few— to “reverse engineer your way back” from where you want to be to where you are now.

🛠️

In other words, reverse engineer your destination so you can build a bridge backwards that—

🏁 guarantees to take you there

🧠 gets your mind in gear

💜 grants you the gift of hope + expectation of better things to come
