I have so many things in my life and so many people in my life that I am thankful for each and every day. The many adventures I have been on this year are nothing short of astounding.
I never thought I would be doing the things I am doing today.
Joining the gym was something that I projected a lot of fear behind.
It's showtime. Showing what I can do and what I am made of and capable of.
Having freedom and feeling free. Away from the clutches and fear of falling, being knocked down. Going above and beyond what I thought I would ever do. Not being whacked down anymore. Not by a boxer, not by the wind, not by anything.
I've never wanted to big note myself... Ever... How far I have come is nothing short of amazing and I have been able to stand proud.
There is so much I have overcome. Still more that I have overcome.
I am that close...
I can see it
I can taste it
I can smell it
I can hear it.
SUCCESS.
Traveling down struggle street was a bumpy ride, and who knows, I may need to go down that road a few million times more throughout my life. I am feeling pride in myself because I now know I can do it.
Physically I am in better shape than I was when I was back in high school. And I will go as far to say as late primary school.
Leaving high school at a young age. (I was three weeks short of my sixteenth birthday but had only just begun year 10), school wasn't for me and I left. Upon leaving, if you had said to me that I would have solid employment over the last fourteen years, I would have laughed at you and just like the lion you see on this page, I am beaming in pride that I am so close to finishing my first children's book. Can you put a price on that? No way, I feel like a million dollars... And that is far more valuable than anything money can buy.
