The thread about "who would you wana be" got me thinking.
Are you happy with the way you look? I know most of us who compete would say they are trying to improve, and will never be satisfied, but that's not what I'm asking.
Like I said in that other thread, I'm very satisfied with the way I look, however, I still want to improve certain parts, but I'm happy with what I've accomplished. When certain guys on here mention that I have shitty genetics, it doesn't bother me at all because I've already won in my eyes. I've been going to competitions since I watched Aaron Baker turn pro In Raleigh at the Natl's in 89'. Since then I've always thought of competing, but didn't because I didn't want to embarass myself. Even when I'd go to local shows, I'd think"if I could just be competitive with these guys, I'd be happy"
Now that I've won my weight class for the last two years at the State show, I've exceeded all possible expectations for my self, so anything else I do now is just gravy.
Oh, last thing. I remember when I did my first local contest two years ago and I just couldn't wait to post up my pics to show my fellow promuscle members how I did.
Like everyone else,sometimes I get discouraged because I'm not making the kinds of gains I want. It's times like these that I think it's good to look back and be proud of where we have come from due to all the hard work we have put into this hobby and or lifestyle.
