So much more to this sport…
You know, I keep saying how much I have learned about the strength of my mind throughout this process, but I’ve also learned a lot about people in general…
I have made so many friends throughout this journey - some I train with and others that I compete with. Some from other states that are willing to travel in to Buffalo to have a shopping day and some that offer the best support they can online.
The thing about us bodybuilders, figure competitors, we’re all a team - a community all of our own. Because anyone who doesn’t train and compete for this sport doesn’t fully understand it. Except perhaps our spouses and significant others:)
I have my doubts about things and I have my days, but I am always backed up through kind words from my trainer, my team, my friends or even a perfect stranger. Thank you for that. Patti and Chris - you’re awesome and I know you’ve been through this time and time again and your words always encourage me and push me on my way.
One of my friends who I have never met in person, Robyn, left me this message yesterday so I will leave it for anyone else who may need it. There are some wise words there!
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you like to win but think you can’t,
Its almost certain that you won’t.
<em />
Life’s battles don’t always go
to the stronger woman or man,
But sooner or later, those who win
Are those who think they can.
<em />
If you think you can or you think you can’t,
you’ll always be right.
