If you could take a picture of your life today, what would it say about you? Not just a photograph, but a snapshot of your entire life: your mental well-being, your level of health, your attitude, your worries, your faith, your pain, your joy, your feelings toward your true friends, and your enemies, your stress level and your outlook on the future.
Then what would you do with it? There's power in knowing where you are, good or bad. If you have no idea where you are, how do you get to where you're going.
Imagine it like this. I drop you off in the middle of a desert. You have no clue where you are. I then hand you a map and ask you to lead me to Madison Square Garden. Not likely going to happen.
However, if I tell you that you're in Arizona, the game has changed. Now you have a starting point.
Goals are wonderful, but without knowing where the starting line is, how will you get to the finish line?
