I am wanting to blog on a personal note today. I am less than a month away from representing Canada at the 2011 World Masters Powerlifting Championships and my thoughts and energies turn to it now every night when I go to bed, and again in the morning when I awaken. The work ethic it demands permeates my efforts in both my career and personal life, causing me to strive harder for perfection, push the envelope to sharpen my skills and strengths, and accept nothing less than success. It has, indeed, awakened the warrior within. I am grateful for my sport...and I am grateful for my competitors, whom I am honoured to measure myself against. They are the best on the planet and I am honoured to lift against them and be counted among them.
An added honour has been given to me recently: I have been made the cover story for this months' REM Magazine, which is received by every licensed real estate agent in Canada. I am blown away to be asked to be in their publication as the best agents in the country are always found there. Here is the link to my story.
I will be sharing with our ActiveRain community all that I can about this journey as I want you to experience some of the adrenaline fueled joy it gives me. It's simply too wonderful to keep to myself. If it inspires you to pursue your own measure of greatness, to push the envelope, to dream, believe and achieve the best of the best things in your life, then I am doubly grateful.
The Worlds run from Sept 26th - Oct 2nd. I fly out on the 24th, lift at 5pm Ontario time on the 27th, and fly home on Oct 3rd. (Closing ceremonies will be Oct 2nd.) I will be posting on Facebook, tweeting on Twitter, and blogging on ActiveRain.
