My Story
-Realizing my Purpose

Many people struggle with a low perception of themselves. Before I start my life in health and fitness, I fought this same low self perception daily. Then I remembered one day, if I wanted something, then I would have to do everything in my power to make it happen. And nobody is just going to hand me either. I am going to have to go out and get it for myself. So weather you are that lady that wants to lose a little or a lot to fit in those skinny jeans or even if you are that guy who just wants to whip his shirt off and jump in the pool this summer, you have to fight for it. I knew what I had to do then, if I was tired of being that skinny guy at the basketball court who couldn’t take off his shirt in 98 degree humid heat in the middle of the summer and feel good about myself. Then I needed to do whatever it took to make my dream come true.

My Journey begins
I looked in the mirror at myself at night after I struggled through fifth-teen pushups, with thoughts of how weak I was for only doing fifth-teen swirling around in my head, could I ever make this body exactly like I wanted it? Night after night I completed my pushups and crunches every day that I could do just one more than I did the night before I added one. Then, I remember looking in that mirror months later and saying if I could only make this bigger, if I could only make that better I would be happy. That’s funny to me now as I think back, because my wish no matter how many more I did no matter how much better I looked was always the same at the end of the day. Now I understand much more of what one sees when they look into the mirror and how to use it as a tool to keep control of progress. One of my clients said to me one day, “Hey Brien, How long did it take you before you could look into the mirror and say my body looks exactly like I want?” We were workout at the time and I pointed to the mirror in front of us and said to him. “Take a good look at that guy there in the mirror, if you start to chase him, you will be chasing him for the rest of your life. Trust me I know this from experience,” I said with a smile on my face.

Revelation
I spent a lot of time at night chiseling my body muscle group by muscle group until I decided to stop chasing that guy in the mirror. I realized that the truth in fitness and being healthy is that your body will reward for properly training the body and mind together, because without the mind you cannot see the body.

Fitness Trainer and Honesty
I’ve definitely have my ups and downs during this journey and believe me it still has its downs. Some days I really felt like quitting, some days I remember storming out of the gym angry, feeling depress and skipping my workouts, even listening to my friends telling me I don’t have to work out today and believing them. Now I know that if it is not my goal than it is a distraction. When I decided to become a fitness trainer I told myself in order for me to push people to limits they never thought possible, I would have to push the limits of my own physical and mental self even if that means injury. Some actually sarcastically remark “Wow, what a life!” But I understand my purpose, as a fitness trainer. I’m supposed to be able to sacrifice my body in order to demonstrate the power of mind. Yes, sometimes it hurts but then I remember that pain is a distraction.
