1) Within 7 days I have challenged myself to face 7 of my life's biggest fears and weaknesses and have competed in my first 2 bodybuilding competitions.
2) Within 9 weeks of weight training for the first time, I have completely transformed my mind and body's shape, size, strength and power.
3) Within 1 year, I have grown up immensely, moreso than I ever imagined could be possible in such a short period of time. This personal development has never felt so good.
The words "Thank You" don't even measure up to the gratitude, the appreciation, the absolute love I feel right now. I cannot say it enough, but I thank my Mother, my Father, my family, friends and lover for everything. Without you all, I would be a lost star in the night sky. Without you all, I would be small and insignificant. But I am big, I am bold and I am beautiful now that you have given me purpose. I will continue to serve, I will continue to grow and I will continue to inspire. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
With Shawn Ray's show being my 2nd competition, and the first nationally qualifying at that, I knew very well that I was going up against women who have been training for years and who have much more experience over me. I wasn't scared though. Why? Because I know that to get anywhere in life we must be brave enough to take those first steps. I know that in order to be better we must surround myself with the best of the best. I know that we must learn from the leaders and lead ourselves, accordingly. And I know that if I plan on winning 1st place one day, I need to expose myself and get known in the bodybuilding world.
Well, guess what? I will be known and I will be great. I believe it with all my heart and as long as there is Heart, nothing is going to get in my way. That's determination for ya!
