Over the course of this journey to fitness, Ive been blessed to come across some pretty amazing people. Coaches, fellow Pro and amateur WBFF athletes, athletes from different federations, members of the healthcare community on LinkedIn, the list goes on and on. But thru this journey what I have come to underestimate is the amount of support from friends and followers, the show of continued support and the sincere expression of how inspired they have been by me. So whats next? Where do I go from here? Well now that I have reached Pro status the question, naturally has been as of lately Em, whens your next show? So heres my official response. Its going to happen and I will stand on the WBFF stage as a Pro ON ONE CONDITION that I not step on stage and half ass the debut. Any one that knows me well, knows that I whatever I put my mind to, I do not half ass -- ANYTHING. Ill bend. Ill adjust. Ill discard who and whats not working if it impedes my progress and Ill step back and reset if my health isnt in check. Afterall I am confident in myself well enough to know when to make the right calls when Im overstepping my limitations or alternatively when It makes sense to be a realist and know what I am capable of to achieve the ultimate package. Even in my quest of downtime and search for ways of improving my craft physically and mentally or when I need a source of inspiration I find myself drawn to Kai - losophy; Kai Greens simple and monk like perspective to achieving a goal in the pursuit of excellence. In watching this video, especially in the last 10 min everything rang true for me and reinforced what I need to do going forward. In this vid what I found most inspiring and what resonated to me was not only the humbleness in his approach to coaching but the degree of self introspection that is required in this sport AND HOW IT WAS DELIVERED. No arrogance. No ignorance. I mean Ive heard it before but for some strange reason coming from Kai and his videos, his subtle approach to this sport is more palatable hence why I find myself drawn to his philosophy. So if thats the case and Im in this game to offer up MY PERSONAL BEST, what I know will not resonate well with me are the following traits..Arrogance. Settling. Shallow thinking. Stepping on that stage and falling short of Emelines expectation and not achieving her personal best. What that type of goal setting translates to? Holding myself to a much higher standard. So there it is. This is where I am..as of right now. SO WHATS NEXT? Its building season. Ive had a few major to minor setbacks but with the help of some great people, Im getting by. In the meantime, I invite you to watch this video or fast forward to 23:00. Did more for me than I expected. #buildingrome #onebrickatatime #holdingmyselftoahigherstandard #buildingseason
