info_outlineThe One Quality You Can’t Grow Without
Miss this one quality and we can guarantee nothing will change.
Main Points:
- Most concepts in personal growth are simple, but implementation is where they become difficult.
- The understanding that you cannot truly grow without first knowing where you are starting (i.e. self-awareness). Once you figure out where you are starting you can begin to figure out where it is you are heading.
- Keep doing what you are doing and you will keep getting what you are getting (i.e. insanity)
- Johnna discusses her struggle with body image and how she finally realized that if she kept doing what she was doing (yo-yo dieting, inconsistent workouts etc.) that she would keep getting what she was getting (unhappiness with her body and inconsistent results).
- Chris talks about his struggle of being an entrepreneur and being “the guy” that everyone needed to go to for any and everything within his fitness business. His example of keep doing what you’re doing (being connected to clients at all hours of the day and not setting boundaries) then you’ll keep getting what you’re getting (unfocused/present time with family, little communication with wife).
- We talk about the ten minute tool - The Happiness Box - from Sam Horn’s ‘Someday is Not a Day in The Week’ book and discuss how this exercise helps you to become more self-aware by identifying where you are at and where you want to be.
- The number one quality you cannot grow without: self-awareness.
- Johnna talks about the book ‘The Success Principles’ by Jack Canfield, and the strange way in which she learned about it and how powerful it was in launching her personal development journey
- The importance of taking 100% responsibility for your life
