'It is HEALTH that is true wealth, and not pieces of gold or silver'

Oct 27, 2019

I was flattered to recieve this photo from one of my fitness and nutrition clients here at Cafetalk! :-)

I have been designing recipe plans to suit her specific goals and tastes, and this smoothie was one that she particularly liked.

It is recieving things like this from my students that encourages me to keep teaching with passion, and has kept me motivated to keep training clients to the best of my ability over the past 11 years.

I love the fact that many of my students, fitness clients and athletes I have worked with have become more than students and are now lifelong friends.

It is things like this that make me smile and brighten up my day!

If my motivation was money, I would most certainly be in another career.
But in terms of self-satisfaction and seeing the happiness on a client or student's face when they pass the test they have been studying so hard for, successfully getting accepted into a job or university they have applied for, achieved the target weight that they have been struggling to achieve or succeeded in a sporting competition or event - it is all the same, and it is my primary motivation for this lifestyle.

The life of a full-time teacher and trainer is certainly not all 'sunshine and rainbows', and in truth, most students only see the positive side.
Every month is a struggle to pay rent, we have to work when we are sick or risk not having enough money for the month, and we have countless students come and go, as well as the criticism and negative comments we teachers all hear from time to time.

But I wouldn't change it for the world, and this is the best life for me!

Thank you students, teachers, fitness clients, and thank you Cafetalk!

Have a HAPPY and HEALTHY day everyone.
 
'LIVE as if you will die tomorrow. LEARN as if you will live forever. LOVE as if your life depends on it'
