On My Mind: Personal Growth & Success

Posted on August 7, 2017February 7, 20193min read

On My Mind: Personal Growth & Success | She Sweats Diamonds

Yep, the title to this blog post is exactly what it is.

Personal growth and success have been on my mind a lot lately. A lot.

Maybe it’s because I’m finally realizing that it’s fun to go through the growing process. And even more exciting? That it’s okay to go for my dreams.

To some, success equals nice houses, cars, wardrobes and traveling the world. To me, personal growth is a major part of success.

You know, those Instagram accounts that follow you and when you check them out, they have flashy cars, travel out the ying yang and just look like they’re living a #goals life? Those things can definitely be results of real success, but to me, having inner peace and experiencing continual growth is the result of true success.

I strive to have inner peace and to continue to grow in the midst of living out my dreams.

I know what you may be asking. But what about living out my dreams? Where do I start?

I believe having the right mindset is important, but even then, your mindset can’t get you on track, at least not right away. I believe…

True success lies in what/who you surround yourself with when it comes to living out your dreams. Click To Tweet

Hear me out. If you attend great events, read books and surround yourself with people who are hustling, wouldn’t you say that there’s a high chance you’re learning something? Would you agree that you’d start catching on to the positive vibes others are putting out and eventually get to a place of feeling extremely motivated to chase your dreams and do what it takes to make things happen?

I think so. For me personally, that’s where I’m at in my life. There’s just something about following people who are making things happen for themselves. 

A few movers and shakers I love to follow who are just killing it: Lydia Elise Millen, her fiance, Ali Gordon, Lewis Howes, Shawn Mendes, Kayla Itsines, Gary Vaynerchuck and Marianna Hewitt.

So…

How can I stay on track when it comes to pursuing my goals and living out my dreams?

As you continue to grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually, surround yourself with people who are on fire and loving life. I’ve found that as I’m pursuing my goals, more and more of my friends are finally doing something they love or they’re making that career move that they waited to do for so long. 

And that’s what’s been so inspiring to me lately! I just get so pumped to see people live out their dreams and love what they do because it makes me wish there were 24 waking hours in a day so I can have more time to do what I love. 

If you’re scared, it’s okay.

It’s normal. Venturing into the unknown is scary. New people may come along and your environment may be unfamiliar, but you know what? It’s okay because you’ll survive. Sometimes, the not-so-fun part is putting yourself out there and not knowing what will happen, but you know what’s even better than that?

Finding out that you’ll be okay once you take the leap is the fun part. That’s the exciting part of the unknown. You just have to know that you’ll never be ready for anything, but that everything is figureoutable!

Have you ever noticed the best things in life come in VERY unexpected ways?

For example, nearly two decades ago, I came to know Jesus Christ through cotton ball paper sheep.

And two years ago today, I hesitantly said yes to another business opportunity…in the form of a spoon.

My friend and mentor, Rachel Kennedy once said something that I’ll never forget. She said that you can pray and ask God for help, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be in the form you expect it to be. It could be a podcast, book, etc.

As I celebrate my two year anniversary, I challenge you to being open to various ways help can show up for you! I know I will!

What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given, read, or heard?

Today is my mom’s birthday!🫶🏼

To say I’m blessed that God gave me her is a huge understatement.

Nothing makes me happier than to see her happy and healthy. If you have a moment, please say a prayer for her. 

Happy happy happy birthday, mom! I pray God blesses you with continued great health, happiness, peace, lots of love and laughter and a very, VERY long life because the world needs beautiful people like you.♥️

I love you so much!!!

When one of my mentors told me this very quote months ago, it hit me hard.

I had realized I had been surviving more than thriving. And that’s okay because sometimes, you’re working so hard to survive (and help your loved ones survive) that you forget you deserve to thrive.

And now, it’s my turn to remind you, that you are not meant to be enslaved. 

You are meant to be FREE!🔥

What’s your most treasured jewelry piece? 

One of mine has to be this pair of earrings. When I wear them, I think of my one and only summer in Vietnam meeting my mom’s side of the family. 

So many good memories…from meeting my grandma for the first time, my aunt driving me around on her motorcycle, shopping with family at the markets to playing outside with my cousins in the rain.

You can’t get these kinds of blessed memories with just any piece of jewelry!

Let me know one of your most treasured jewelry pieces in the comments!✨

SOUND ON for my friends who are freezing cold (or those who love the ocean)! I hope this reel brings you some warmth and a bit of joy knowing that spring is coming!🌊 

Two months from today, we spring forward and that means warmth and lots of sunshine! And I CANNOT wait because I STILL haven’t gotten used to it getting darker earlier, ha!

Who else loves warm weather?! 🙋🏻‍♀️
