Bigger Than Me

When I think back on my experiences as a personal trainer. I realize that I had the opportunity to meet interesting new people, establish a friendship with them, and to a very strong degree impact their lives. Interestingly enough my former clients had a significant impact on me as well. I learned from them, they gave me advice about life, love, and happiness. We all experience trials and tribulations through out our lives. Some not as bad as other and other worse than most. Regardless of the situation the majority of us overcome these obstacles. The experience is gone but not forgotten. I keep in contact with a large amount of all of my former clients and they still give me advice. Why ? Because I trust them and we have created a strong friendship through out the years. I know that they will give me their honest heart felt opinion as I will do the same for them. Recently my wife and I have faced some rather difficult trials and tribulations. During this time our love, understanding, and dedication to each other and our goals and dreams enabled us to grow stronger. When life gets the best of us we rely on each other to keep us strong. That is the beauty of marriage, even when you think you are at your worst there is someone there saying you are always at your best. We also seek comfort and guidance from our friends and family. Earlier this week I felt like the weight of the entire world was on my shoulders. You know that feeling where you don’t want to look outside on a sunny day? If it weren’t for my wife standing by me and supporting and my friends being there for me I don’t know what I would have done. I look back on this week as I press the tip of my index finger to my tongue and prepare to turn another page in my book of life. I tell myself that I am truly blessed to have a wonderful, loving, and supporting wife and great friends like Mando, Milner, Rob, Natalia, Warren, and Vanessa. I realize that regardless of any problems I have or the triumphs I experience it is bigger than me. If it weren’t for my wife and I deciding to start D&M Elite Fitness for these few years before we stepped into the next stage of our life then I would have never had the chance to make such wonderful friends and for that I am grateful. It is bigger than me!
