Full Episode Transcript:


Hey! Welcome to the Keto Mom page. My name is Stephanie, and we're going through "The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth", by John Maxwell. The point of going through a book together is to help you with your personal growth and your mindset. To help you figure out who you are, to know who you are, to listen to your heart, to control your mindset, and to help you make better choices.

Welcome to day 3 of our Book 11 session

We're on chapter two today, and yesterday we talked about "Intentional growth". Oftentimes, people come here and say, "I would love to lose fifty pounds", or "I would love to get healthy". I will help you with all of that but I'm also going to help you with your mindset. Whether you read the book with me or you follow along, my hope is for you to gain one golden nugget so you can take it with you throughout the day.

Think about it, ponder on it and take action. The key to anything is taking action.

By the way, yesterday afternoon, we did a drawing for the book giveaways. I picked people that had birthdays and a couple of people that have shared the videos. Later today, I'm going to do another drawing for some more books. So if you're watching, press the share button, because sharing is caring. It also allows other people to join the community, to help them on their own journey. If you press the share button, let me know.


Chapter Two:

"The Law Of

Awareness"

"𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳"


Awareness! I've been saying that word a lot with my kids, myself, and with our team. "Awareness is key" What does that mean? We're talking about the key to success is Personal Growth. Personal Growth working on your mindset and you working on you.


ʜᴇ ꜱᴀɪᴅ, "ᴛᴏ ɢʀᴏᴡ, ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴜꜱᴛ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ʏᴏᴜʀꜱᴇʟꜰ, ʏᴏᴜʀ ꜱᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜꜱ, ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴡᴇᴀᴋɴᴇꜱꜱᴇꜱ, ʏᴏᴜʀ ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴇꜱᴛꜱ, ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴏᴘᴘᴏʀᴛᴜɴɪᴛɪᴇꜱ. ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴜꜱᴛ ʙᴇ ᴀʙʟᴇ ᴛᴏ ɢᴀᴜɢᴇ ɴᴏᴛ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ'ᴠᴇ ʙᴇᴇɴ, ʙᴜᴛ ᴀʟꜱᴏ ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ɢᴏ. ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴄʜ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴏᴛᴇɴᴛɪᴀʟ, ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴜꜱᴛ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ɢᴏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴛʟʏ ᴀᴛ ɴᴏᴡ."...


3 Different

Kinds of People:

𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺


  1. There are people who do not know where they are and where they would like to go. They're super confused.

  2. There are people who know what they want, what they would like to do, but they don't do it. There are people who know what they want, but they will not take the risk to do it and they usually get frustrated.

  3. There are people who know what they want, and what they would like to do and they do it.

Figure out what you really want to do

Oftentimes, I think with social media, the access to the internet, or all of these things that have come about. They make it so we think we don't have to work as hard. We sometimes forget the amount of hard work and time that it requires to get to where we want to go.

"How do I figure out my passions?"
"How do I figure out what I truly want to do?".

"You have to know who you are, to grow your potential. But you have to grow in order to know who you are. Finding yourself and growing your potential, can be difficult. You have to know who you are to grow to your potential, but you have to grow in order to figure out who you are. So what's the solution? It's time to explore".


The first step

towards change:

"Awareness"

𝗔𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘁

  • I need to lose fifty pounds

  • I want to have better relationships

  • I want to have better finances

  • I'm in a little bit of debt

  • My relationships aren't great

  • I don't love the job that I'm at, but I'd like something different that I'm passionate about.

  • I really need to get healthy


The second step:

"Acceptance".

  • I have an awareness, and I have an acceptance.

  • I know where I'm at

  • I know how I feel

  • I'm accepting the choices that I've made in the past, and I am going to change them.

Ask yourself these 10 questions so you are aware

"ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴄʜᴀɴɢᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ɢʀᴏᴡ, ᴛʜᴇɴ ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴜꜱᴛ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ʏᴏᴜʀꜱᴇʟꜰ, ᴀᴄᴄᴇᴘᴛ ᴡʜᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ʙᴇꜰᴏʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ ꜱᴛᴀʀᴛ ᴛᴏ ʙᴜɪʟᴅ. ʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ᴛᴇɴ Qᴜᴇꜱᴛɪᴏɴꜱ ᴛᴏ ᴀꜱᴋ ʏᴏᴜʀꜱᴇʟꜰ ᴀꜱ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴏʀᴋ ᴛʜʀᴏᴜɢʜ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴄᴇꜱꜱ".


10 Questions to Ask Yourself:

(I'm going to give you five of them today and five tomorrow)


1. Do you like what

you're doing

right now?


"If you're not enjoying what you do for a living then you need to take some time to examine why. It's risky making a change from what you're currently doing, to what you want to do. Of course, you might fail, you might find out that you actually don't like it as much. You might not make as much money.


ʙᴜᴛ ɪꜱɴ'ᴛ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀʟꜱᴏ ᴀ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛᴇʀ ʀɪꜱᴋ ᴛᴏ ꜱᴛᴀʏɪɴɢ ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ᴀᴛ? ʏᴏᴜ ᴍɪɢʜᴛ ꜰᴀɪʟ, ʏᴏᴜ ᴍɪɢʜᴛ ɢᴇᴛ ꜰɪʀᴇᴅ, ʏᴏᴜ ᴍɪɢʜᴛ ᴛᴀᴋᴇ ᴀ ᴘᴀʏ ᴄᴜᴛ. ᴏʀ ᴡᴏʀꜱᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴀʟʟ, ʏᴏᴜ ᴍɪɢʜᴛ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴅ ᴏꜰ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʟɪꜰᴇ ꜰᴇᴇʟɪɴɢ ʀᴇɢʀᴇᴛ, ꜰᴏʀ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ʜᴀᴠɪɴɢ ʀᴇᴀᴄʜᴇᴅ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴏᴛᴇɴᴛɪᴀʟ ᴏʀ ᴅᴏɪɴɢ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀᴄᴛᴜᴀʟʟʏ ʟᴏᴠᴇᴅ. ᴡʜɪᴄʜ ʀɪꜱᴋ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴀᴛʜᴇʀ ʟɪᴠᴇ?"...


2. What Would you

like to do?


"There is definitely a direct correlation between finding your passion and reaching your potential. You will never fulfill your destiny doing work that you despise. Passion gives you an advantage over others because 1% with passion is greater than 99% who have only have an interest. Passion gives you energy. How do you know what you want to do? How do you tap into your passion? Listen to your heart and pay attention to what you love doing"


So today, as you're sitting at your desk, or inside your car, whatever the case may be. Just have an awareness of where you're at today. Have an acceptance and think about, "Am I where I want to be today?", "Do I love what I'm doing?", "Is there something more?".


It's going to require some risk and some learning, but are you willing to take the risk so that you don't have any regrets?
Do you possess the talent to do what you want?

3. Can you do what you

would like to do?


"ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ'ꜱ ᴀ ʙɪɢ ᴅɪꜰꜰᴇʀᴇɴᴄᴇ ʙᴇᴛᴡᴇᴇɴ ʜᴀᴠɪɴɢ ᴀ ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴘʀᴏᴘᴇʟꜱ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛᴏ ᴀᴄʜɪᴇᴠᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴜᴛᴛɪɴɢ ᴀɴ ɪᴅᴇᴀ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ɪɴ ᴛʜɪɴ ᴀɪʀ"


Me growing up, I wanted to be a famous country singer. I do love to sing. I'm not a famous country singer or a talented singer. Not that I couldn't be, I'm sure there's work you can do and people you can hire for that. But it's actually a passion of mine to sing. I sing on the worship team at our church.

Do I love it? Yes.
Deep down, is it truly my desire to be a singer? No.

ʜᴇ ꜱᴀɪᴅ, "ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ꜱᴜʀᴇ ɪᴛ'ꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ꜱᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜɪɴ ᴀɪʀ ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴀ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ꜰᴏʀ ɪᴛ. ɪ ᴡʀᴏᴛᴇ ᴀ ʙᴏᴏᴋ ᴄᴀʟʟᴇᴅ 'ᴘᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍꜱ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛᴇꜱᴛ'.


ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴜꜱᴛ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ꜱᴏᴍᴇ ᴋɪɴᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴄʀɪᴛᴇʀɪᴀ ꜰᴏʀ ᴋɴᴏᴡɪɴɢ ɪꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇꜱɪʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴍᴀᴛᴄʜᴇꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʙɪʟɪᴛʏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘᴏꜱꜱᴇꜱꜱ.

  • Do you know the difference between what you want to do and what you're good at?

  • Do you know what drives you and what gives you satisfaction?

  • Do you know what your values, your priorities, and what your organizational rules are?

One of the main keys to being successful and having fulfillment in your purpose is to understand your unique talents and to find the right arena in which to use them. Almost every man wastes part of his life in attempting to display qualities which he does not possess"


No more wasting time. We all have greatness inside of us and we all have talents that we're good at. Take a couple of minutes, and think about what you're good at.
  • I am really great at hosting people.

  • I'm really great at giving encouragement.

  • I'm really great at taking action.

  • I'm a great teacher, I'm good at taking a concept and explaining it

Try to thiink of the things you're good at

4. What are you

good At?


He said, "Do you know why you want to do what you would like to do? I believe it's very important not only to know what you want to do but also why you want to do it. Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens".


5. Do you know what to do,so that you can

do what you want

to do?


"Darren Hardy, the publisher of Success Magazine says this, 'Picture where you are in an area of your life right now. Now picture where you want to be. The first step towards change is awareness"


ɪ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀᴅ ᴀᴡᴀʀᴇɴᴇꜱꜱ. ɪᴛ ᴄᴀɴ ʜᴇʟᴘ ʏᴏᴜ ɪɴ ᴀɴʏ ᴀʀᴇᴀ ᴏꜰ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʟɪꜰᴇ. ᴇᴠᴇɴ ʀɪɢʜᴛ ɴᴏᴡ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʜᴇᴀʟᴛʜ ᴀɴᴅ ꜰɪᴛɴᴇꜱꜱ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ꜰᴀᴛ ʟᴏꜱꜱ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ. ʏᴏᴜ ɴᴇᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴀɴ ᴀᴡᴀʀᴇɴᴇꜱꜱ ᴏꜰ ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ᴀᴛ ᴛᴏᴅᴀʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴀᴡᴀʀᴇɴᴇꜱꜱ ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ ᴅᴀʏ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄʜᴏɪᴄᴇꜱ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ.


"If you want to get from where you are today to where you want to go, you have to start by being aware of the choices that lead you there, every day. You cannot change the direction if you aren't aware that you're not heading where you want to go"

You can't change your direction if you're not aware. Take some time today, if you haven't taken any steps towards becoming better or whatever your better is. What do you want, and what do you not want to regret? It's having an awareness today, and knowing which things will take you towards your goal, and which ones will not"


ᴛᴀᴋᴇ ꜰɪᴠᴇ ꜱᴇᴄᴏɴᴅꜱ ʙᴇꜰᴏʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄʜᴏᴏꜱᴇ ꜱᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ, ᴇꜱᴘᴇᴄɪᴀʟʟʏ ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ'ᴠᴇ ɢᴏᴛ ʜᴇᴀʟᴛʜ ᴀɴᴅ ꜰɪᴛɴᴇꜱꜱ ɢᴏᴀʟꜱ. ᴛᴀᴋᴇ ꜰɪᴠᴇ ᴍɪɴᴜᴛᴇꜱ ʙᴇꜰᴏʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄʜᴏᴏꜱᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ꜰᴏᴏᴅ, ᴀ ᴘʟᴀᴄᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴇᴀᴛ, ɢᴏɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ɢʏᴍ, ᴏʀ ɴᴏᴛ ɢᴏɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ɢʏᴍ.


Anything that has to do with your health and fitness, have an awareness of the choices that are going to get you there. What choice is going to derail you, and what choice will help you become better, even if it's hard. Choose your hard!

This is the book, "The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth" by John C. Maxwell. I will continue to go through Chapter Two tomorrow. We don't need to go through the book super fast. Take some time to think about it. Thank you for tuning in. I hope you have an incredible morning. Tune in later this afternoon for a Keto Tip of the Day.


And as always reach out with questions you have. I'm here to help. I hope you have a good morning we'll talk to you soon.
