Blacking Out At Home & Waiting For An Ambulance 🚑

I couldn't agree with this quote anymore.

Every ounce of adversity I have faced I have proven to myself how strong and resilient I am.

I lost my mum at 12 years old which is the biggest punch in the face from adversity that I think you can ever receive but I proved to myself that I could handle whatever life threw at me after going through that rough patch.

That I could bike to school on my own.

That I could turn that loss into fuel and live a purposeful life.

I moved out of home as a teenager with my belongings squashed into a Honda Civic Hatchback and discovered I could pay bills, mingle with people and have enough courage to pave a career ahead of me.

I blacked out at home and had an ambulance pick me up when I hurt my back squatting the night before and proved to myself that I could still run a personal training business, workout (with alterations to my workouts) and remain optimistic.

Without these adversities, I never would have developed into who I am and you wouldn't be who you are today either.

If you give someone 15mins to give them their story, you'll understand this too.

We are not who we think we are, we are what we have done.

I don't care who you think you are, if you haven't done any sort of resistance training in your life, you won't have any muscle.

If you haven't done driving lessons, you won't know how to drive, no matter how hard you think about it.

So you know that thing you keep putting away and never doing?

Do it.

Whether you fail or succeed, you will prove to yourself that you can do it or acquire the skills you need to overcome it next time.
