Episode 218: The Law of Awareness

Lessons in Leadership

The Law of Awareness: A Personal Journey Toward Fulfillment Last week, we talked about the Law of Intentionality which taught us that growth doesn't just happen, we have to be intentional about it. This week, we're diving into the concept of self-awareness. John Maxwell believes that “to grow yourself, you need to know yourself.” This reminds me of a conversation I had with my son-in-law, Darin, who was in his final year of law school. He confessed to me that despite being close to graduating, he had decided that he didn't want to become an attorney. He realized this after observing my daily routine and the freedom I had to spend time with family and work from home. He expressed his desire to have a similar lifestyle and prioritize family time. Darin's realization made me happy because it showed that he was aware of his true desires and priorities. Although I had concerns about his career path, I believed in his abilities. I shared with him the happiness formula I learned from Tony Robbins, which emphasizes the importance of aligning your life with your definition of what true happiness and fulfillment look like. I explained to Darin that he had two choices: adjust his idea of success or change his circumstances to match his vision. For both of us, changing our definition of success was not an option. We both valued the freedom to create the lives we desired. The Happiness Formula When your LC (Life Conditions) = BP (Your Blueprint) Ultimately, Darin graduated with a law degree but chose a different career path that allowed him to work remotely and enjoy the same freedoms I cherish. I am proud to say that he now has a wonderful job and has even blessed me with a grandchild. His decision to prioritize self-awareness and consciously choose the life he wanted has made him a great father, and I'm thrilled that his son will be raised by someone who understands the importance of being true to oneself.

The late, great Jim Rohn once said “If you want to have more, you have to become more. For things to change, you have to change. For things to get better, you have to become better. If you improve, everything will improve for you. If you grow, your money will grow; your relationships, your health, your business, and every external effect will mirror that growth in equal correlation.” Bill Storm
