Today I had to go back to my old school 😳 we think I left like 2005 I literally can not remember 😂 (someone with more time on their hands please work it out for me).
Apparently I’m someone who is ‘successful’ 😂😂😂 nice compliment, everyone else must have been busy.
No seriously though, it was an honour to be thought of and invited to speak to the children… who said they thought I was 20 btw 😎 (maths department might need some new staff 😅)
Whilst I was there to talk about my ‘careers’ so far, the kids were most interested in my sporting background.
The only thing I didn’t actually study at school, at the time I was trying to form a career.
Although on reflection 30 years of experience in it now I guess can’t really be called anything other than an education and a comprehensive one at that.
It reminded me actually how much of my ‘spare time’ I invested in being someone before I qualified other than what my education or job role then went on to define or has ever defined since.
When you think about what you ‘do’ other than work is fitness a part of that?
Is a healthy balanced lifestyle a part of that?
Are you able, because of what you do in your spare time to set an example for your children or future children that directly benefits their lives too.
No matter what career I am in or may be defined as for someone to understand me in their own mind, none of it is possible without health… literally without my health anything I want to do for work, have in life etc takes on a completely different direction. Would someone have introduced me as successful if I was in a hospital bed this morning? I just simply wouldn’t have been there.
Be defined as more than just your current job role you’re far more than just that 🏋🏼♀️💪🏽
Ps they still have exactly the same duck tape that was on the steps up to the stage that were there when I was the Lion in the Wiz musical 🐱 (that's a story and costume for another day😀😅)
