What an experience at the Future Fit Legacy event! Out of the 5 awesome candidates…I was awarded the Silver Mentoring package worth over £3,000 to help bring my vision of empowering others to lead healthier lives to life!
When my name was called I couldn’t believe it! I went up on stage with mum and little laura who was really the star of the show. She even got a kiss from the future fit founder lol.
I felt soo grateful in the moment as I held the trophy. I thought about all the amazing people in my life who have supported, believed and inspired me to reach higher heights. Its so so important to surround yourself with positive people. You know who you are!
It was Truly a dream come true and great honour to meet some of the biggest names in the fitness world, the amazing future fit team and chatting with inspiring paralympions including Baroness Tanni Grey Tompson and the awesome Lora Fachie who I admire soo much!
On the train ride home, I took some time to process and reflect on such a blessed experience and special opportunities ahead. I realised that the only disability that exists is a bad attitude. I had an insight...You are not limited by your circumstances. And if anything being a little different is an advantage. It got me thinking about what being “normal” Actually means. Society slaps labels on everything from the definition of disability, what is meant by old, beautiful or ugly, what you can and can not do, on and on.
Honestly, what truly matters is how you see yourself. I found my way in life when I embraced being different. And guess what, I stood out at the event. I just happened to be the only athletic Asian visually impaired woman with a guide dog. But this label didn’t matter to me or to the room full of incredible people. Collectively it was all about making a difference to others no matter your situation!
So I encourage everyone to focuss on what you have, what you can do and to seek the strength in your unique situation. I discovered an inner power when I learnt to embrace being different. You can too…
And for me, disrupting the industry, shifting perceptions and helping others to see their life differently is going to be flipping awesome lol, much love xx
