WELLNESS WORKS!!

 I'm a self-funded athlete through my residential and commercial painting - but competing in bodybuilding is not cheap, so if you'd like to offer financial help, you're welcome to hire me  or send an e-transfer (malspaint@gmail.com). PERFORMANCE PAINTING Link to purchase  my books

I felt I had so much more athletic potential than people realized, but I'm happy that my grandpa (who played soccer) lived to see some of my athletic success.

  Why did I choose the path I did? FULL POTENTIAL. That's what it's about for me. It's not fun if it feels like not many are seeing your potential or believing in you. I could do something like " flip burgers" all my life... and live a safe life, as boring and stale as can be - or I can continue to kick butt. My genetics have told me all along that I'm an athlete. If you have an understanding of your honest potential, and hold onto your vision, you can walk "the golden path." https://naturalstrengthbuilding.blogspot.com/?m=0

 I think this "crazy" bodybuilding journey, with the virus going on, etc..., probably took the most courage of my life. My WNBF (World Natural Bodybuilding Federation) show was cancelled 2x. It was quite sometime after these cancellations that I noticed CPA (Canadian Physique Alliance) had a Natural Show - and still scheduled for October 2020 in Winnipeg. It was uncertain, almost until the last minute, as to whether or not this was still "a go." There were new restrictions being introduced in Manitoba and Winnipeg. In the news, a young hockey team and their coaches were seriously criticized for traveling from Saskatchewan to Manitoba to play in a tournament (regulations against inter-provincial travel). I still chose not to stop or slow down my training... then a nearby gym in Yorkton was hit with the virus and had to close. Would the 24hr gym I went to be closed down too? Warnings were posted on the front doors and kids starting come into the gym from Yorkton High

Choosing an active lifestyle, participating in activities and sports that you enjoy, such as hiking and recreational hockey, are just a couple examples of how you can improve your social relations while being driven to set goals. Personally, playing adult and men's hockey - especially, was a valuable way for me to make new friends, gain new understanding, envision my goal of winning multiple championships and expand my contacts. https://malcolmrae.blogspot.com/?m=0
