The Life Audit: Would Your 12-Year-Old Self Be Excited About You?

If 12-year-old you could see your life today… would he high-five you or shake his head in disappointment?

Think back to that kid—the one who had big dreams, wild ideas, and zero interest in playing it safe. What would he say about the person you’ve become?

Would he be excited? Proud? Or would he be confused as to why you don’t have a hoverboard yet?

I asked myself this question recently, and it completely changed the way I see my life. It’s helped me make course corrections, put stress into perspective, and reignite a passion I didn’t even realize I had lost.

So let me ask you: Is the life you’re living the one you once dreamed of? If not… what small changes could you make to get closer?

I break it all down in today’s post—and I’ve got a one-week challenge for you that just might change everything.

P.S. Let me know—what would 12-year-old you say about your life today? Hit reply, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
