I don't know till this day. I was always trying to find my purpose in life to make some type of contribution in the world. For some reason I feel bodybuilding has found me. Till this day, I can't recall how I got into it. I'm not a big believer in spirituality but it feels like it's divine. For some reason I feel it is my calling in life. The movie Pumping Iron did inspire tho.

I was always strong mentally. Bodybuilding gave me a balance between body and mind. I love bodybuilding because it pushes me to test myself. I find that bodybuilding is not just exercising the body but also training the mind. I found that bodybuilding is a way of life. The lessons I learned in the gym are priceless. They were a bargain for those long hours I'd invested. Bodybuilding has taught me alot about myself. It has also taught me about hard work and persistence. I came to the conclusion that those who succeed in the gym can channel that same energy into other aspects of life.
