What about the athletes that don’t win their pro card after years of dedication & effort?

I feel like there is this weird belief that athletes who don’t win their pro card end up regretting the pursuit & wind up sad or feel like their efforts were wasted

Why?

I can speak to the fact that I initially thought I’d be disappointed if I didn’t win my pro card after everything I put into this sport

But as I matured as a competitor, & as a woman of God, I realized that the pro card although desirable is not the determining factor of satisfaction or contentment with the journey

I found peace & gratitude in every moment on & off stage whether painful or joyful

I was forged through the fire of bodybuilding

In me was a burning passionate pursuit for the pro card that really led me to bringing my best when it was said & done

There were times I thought maybe it was my “time” but I was also quite realistic with myself

While I believe I brought an amazing physique most of the times I was on stage in my 10 years, I also know the women who have “beat” me, deserved their win just like I deserved the wins I earned

If I had put all my happiness or even my decision to continue to compete or start a family in whether I win my pro card or not, I could’ve fast forwarded another 5 years chasing a dream that maybe wasn’t in God’s plan for me

In placing full trust in His plan I found so much more joy!

I shared an affirmation for a client yesterday who was struggling with whether to continue her pursuit of the pro card because she feared she would regret doing so if she didn’t walk away with it.

Ultimately she decided to continue the pursuit this year and our focus to be on finding contentment & satisfaction with the journey to bringing her best

Working with competitors on their mental game is SO satisfying. Talking through values, perspectives, possibilities, etc can shift someone’s whole view & help them LOCK IN

Here’s that affirmation:
I choose to live life with faith & trust in God knowing that His plan will always come to fruition & is best for me. So, I can be content with any outcome & joyful!
