CANADIAN PHYSIQUE ALLIANCE DECEMBER ISSUE | Page 58

But one thing was clear in my DNA, the
more I want something, the more nothing
will stop me.  I wanted to be a Pro.
More competitions came, with success and
failures.  The highs of winning the
Provincials and first in class in Canada
accompanied lows of finishing second or
third multiple times.  The Pro card was in
sight yet it seemed a hundred miles away.  
  
 I had to think outside the box and take
some risks.  After finishing second at the
overall in Toronto Pro qualifier in October,
rather than reset and retrain, we decided to
go straight for the next show, Olympia
Amateur in Italy.  It didn't make sense to go
that far, so short a time, no planning, no rest
time. But we just knew that this was my
calling, and in the end what seemed
unrealistic became my great achievement,
winning not only a Pro Card but the figure
overall title.
What did I learn from this journey? 
Discipline and perseverance are
rewarding. Whatever you want to be is
yours, only if you're willing to work for it
with absolute commitment. So Focus on
what you can control, anything else will
drive you nuts.
Last, honour and believe in those who truly
support you.  Together, any challenge can
be overcome.   

I want to use this opportunity to
once again thank everyone who
supported me since the
beginning, specifically my coach
and also Wesley Mohammed for
their endless knowledge, support
and encouragement. My pro
career has now started, and I'm
excited to start a new journey.
