Totally Addicted To It All!


This blog for me is my chance to share my thoughts, aha moments, experiences and reflections about my incredible journey of learning, personal development and transformation.  I am not the same woman I was 5yrs ago. It seems silly to say but do people really change?

I've reconnected with a friend from high school. It was wonderful, so much as happened in both our lives.  Saying that, I was amazed that even though 23yrs had past she was pretty much the same.  
She had the same sense of humour, she saw the world in the same way and life experiences only seemed to clarify to her that her way of thinking and being was the best way for her to be and see things.  Don't get me wrong I'm not judging her.  She has her goals and things she wants to achieve but her paradigm had not changed.

It's all good, cause the truth is, "you don't know what you don't know".  I didn't know that this journey would shift the way I see the world, the way I respond in life and the way I'm creating my life with and on purpose.

I've been to various personal development, wealth creation, breakthrough and business seminars. I've attended amazing company trainings about how to build my business successfully, lead teams and develop a success mindset, which I may add, I didn't know existed. See! "You don't know what you don't know",Right!?

This growth journey has taken me to the USA, Mexico, Isreal, around the UK and Europe.  I've made many new friends and reconnect with old ones.

One of the most impactful things for me, when I started reading more personal development books and going to seminars was meeting so many wonderfully like minded people, who were on their own journeys of growth, learning and development. It was like! "oh my gosh I'm not crazy"
These people didn't look at me funny when I started talking about personal development and becoming a better version of myself.  

My friends at the time gave me that look, "you know the one" usually followed by "but there's nothing wrong with you Evette"
I didn't think there was anything wrong with me either. What happened was my eyes were opened and my immagination captured by concepts like: "You have greatness within you" ~ Les Brown. "Don't wish for your problems to be smaller wish that you were better" ~ Jim Rohn. "As a man thinketh so is he" ~ Napoleon Hill.  These principles changed me little by little as I began to live and feel them. 

I've always been very positive, some used to say naively optimistic. Now I look back 5yrs later, its a whole different life experience when surrounded by people, who love to learn and grow. Friends who share tools, ideas and knowledge, so I can continue to create my life by design.  They even help me up when I fall or go off track.

Now I really understand that the journey has no destination, because It's continuous, consistent learning and growth.  In fact, at this point I'm totally addicted to it.  Totally addicted to being on this path of mastering my mind I guess. To being alive, alert, aware, conscious and awake. 

The people I admire the most, who are also my mentors, whom I look up. They are wealthy in finance, relationships, health, spirituality and all based on their personal definitions of success not anyone elses. They go where they want, when they want, with who they want and they don't need to ask anyones permission.  They themselves are always raising the bar.  Pushing the their limits. 
They get comfortable with being uncomfortable because they know that everything they want, all their successes, lay outsite of their comfort zone .  I dont get why it's called my "comfort zone" because most often than not there's nothing comfortable about being there at all.  Anyway I see my mentors and my peers continuously reaching for the next level, for the higher ground and I think, well! "me too" WTH!! why not me too? The Higher She!
