Into the Unknown

Waking up and heading out early this morning for my morning abs and cardio session I was suddenly surrounded by the early autumn mist. And this made me realise, that this journey, preparing for my next show had almost become symbolised by the fog and mist surrounding me.

For although we can see the immediate path before us, what we are doing in the present, none of us can really see what lies just around the corner. In a show prep, we can have a plan of what we are training today, what meals we have prepared, but we do not know exactly how it will pan out, in a week from now, a month? I cannot say that I can guarantee that I will come into the show better, or worse than before, but what I do know is that I can see the immediate future and act on it, and as we keep working hard to move forwards we can unveil the next step, and the one after that.
But there are two ways to look at this, as uncertainty and doubt clouding the path, or as a blank, white canvas allowing you to paint your future through your efforts and perseverance. Hard work always pays off, and if you really go after your goals, your dreams, then they will come true.
And that was were I found myself, in the midst of the fog, seeing just enough to keep moving forwards and keep me excited about what tomorrow could bring. I believe this is a key part to any show prep, and in fact to any part of life. We never know what could happen next, so just keep working hard and believing, success could be coming fast on the horizon.
