Becoming the best version of myself

Image
Why I Moved to New York City in My 20s — and Why You Should Take Calculated Risks Too There’s a wave of people trading New York City for Miami — chasing sun, space, and a new pace of life. But I’ve decided to do the opposite (at least for now) because for me this chapter is about growth and becoming the highest version of myself. As a business owner, entrepreneur, and a young woman, I am all about constantly evolving, becoming better on every level. Moving to New York City feels like a natural step in my journey.  I am a big believer in personal growth and pushing myself to be the best version of myself. I realized that for me to reach my highest potential, I need to focus on learning, developing, and stepping into my feminine energy. New York City, with all its opportunities unlocks this new side of me and provides the perfect backdrop for this kind of growth.  Even as I write this, I remind myself to focus on positive outcomes, sit with graceful posture, and embody the calm,...

24 Lessons I Learned This Year

  24 lessons I learned this year: 1.  Know your worth whether it is in business or personal life A huge lesson I learned this year was communicating my own value and only accepting relationships whether in business or personal life that match those values. I know that I will never be underpaid again. If you want a job that pays a certain amount of money and you have the right qualifications and work ethic, you should never settle for anything less than that. If want a relationship or get married by a certain age, you should know your needs and only date men who can match those needs.  I feel that knowing your value is extremely important and essential to your existence, so always set your standards to what you need - which is quality. Knowing what you want is very important too - I learned that stability and support in both a professional sense and a personal sense, from what kind of man I would like to marry in the future to the people I want to work with closely, are ve...

Important! Positive Visualization Exercise

As a part of the many exercises at one of many self-improvement classes I am attending, one exercise caught my attention - to write a letter to your future spouse (even if you are currently single) as a way to thank God & Universe for making it happen. So here is mine.  Dear Husband,  I am so grateful for your love, kindness and respect towards me and our family. You are such a caring person; my best friend and I am truly astonished by your work ethic. You are such a family person and that inspires me to be a great wife too. You work hard and provide for our beautiful family while accepting and supporting me in my real estate career too.  You are so smart, respectful, kind, patient, generous, funny, positive, and such a high-quality man. Thank you for being confident in yourself, so that together we are both confident people in love. The way you work hard to achieve your goals in real estate/finance is a quality about you that I find so attractive. I love that you als...

Respect for Yourself and Your Actions

Image
Dear Reader, Thank you for your time to read my blog that consists of observations and important conclusions that have made a difference in my life and hopefully can help you in some ways as well.   2019 has been perhaps the most transformational year for my personal development. Through many self development techniques presented to me, I was truly able to develop further as a person and level up in many aspects of my life. I found the following methods to be important:  Journaling  Meditation Coaching  Working out  Gratitude Giving back Reading self development books (or books that can help you to understand yourself and aspects of your life)  Perhaps the most important lesson for me this year is to have confidence in myself through respecting myself. Three years of boarding school have taught me how to respect different points of views, my family teaches me to respect everyone, but somehow in the midst of it all, I forgot how to ...

Why Setting Your Own Standard is Important

In my second year of college, I have grown to learn to be more introspective than ever. Today I feel that I am reaching of becoming the best version of myself, a person who I am proud to be. Encountering most incredible people, exhilarating experiences, participating in leadership roles, working, studying and evolving myself taught me to reflect on myself and my actions as a responsibility.  Briefly, I have been thinking about expectations for myself and how they can be applied towards morally navigating at life.  Virtues that I expect myself to follow: 1) Kindness. This word defines my essence most accurately as I truly believe in being kind.  I have been told quite often that many people take a person's kindness for weakness and that I am being naive in my judgement, but I think that having a kind heart takes strength of a character.  I need to be kind to myself and others, and it has to be done in balance. Being more open-minded, less judgemen...
