"Follow
your passion, and success will follow you." ~Terri Guillemets
Passion is a
topic that frequently arises in conversation isn't it? It is the cornerstone of
what allows us to live our life without an ounce of boredom. Keeping a reign on
passion may be challenging at times but we all quickly realize that it is a necessity
that we never want to be without.
Being around
passionate people is contagious. How many of us feel the energy when someone
excitedly shares ideas and goals they are setting for themselves? I don't know
about you but I love that feeling! Despite being away for a good part of the
summer, there were a number of local people I stayed in contact with. Can you
guess why? Because both groups were passionate about building their business.
A short bit ago
I had the honour of shooting the campaign for The Breathing Room Yoga Studio + Cafe - a new Yoga
facility that just opened today. Bonnee and Krista presented me with their
ideas and having known Bonnee through Yoga classes, the moment they approached
me I was sold. Yoga is for people of all walks of life, of all fitness levels,
and of all ages. Bonnee and Krista share a passion that has given to the
community many times through karma Yoga in the park and now they are set to
realize the impact they have made. I ran into Bonnee this afternoon as she was
grabbing a few items and I could see in her smile that all the hard work was proving
rewarding. They had met their goal of opening on September 12. If you find
yourself in Central Alberta, be sure to visit the Breathing Room Yoga Studio + Cafe in Red Deer.
It is a friendly atmosphere in a great location. I will see you ladies in a
class soon. Promise. Namaste.
Today was the
only opportunity I have had in some time to work with another couple that
decided to follow their passion when they opened up a new bodybuilding facility
in Red Deer called Bent Iron Gym - affectionately called BIG by the members.
Kathy Mack and Evan Taylor are an incredible couple that are focused on
building a "family" amongst the fitness and bodybuilding athletes and
the community. The facility itself has state of the art equipment handpicked by
the duo who both are accomplished provincial level athletes. However, as impressive as this is, they have
built a core of staff that live and breathe health, fitness, and hard core
training. The moment you walk in the door you know you're in a gym you can call
home. It was a lot of fun to visit and
get some of the shy staff in front of the camera today. Of course I kept the
funny shots, eyes closed, mouth half open shots to bribe them with at a later
date. Haha Thanks again to Kathy, Evan, Brittany, Marty, Dan and Sarah for
allowing me the honour of working with each of you today. It is always fun and
I look forward to seeing you all on a regular basis once things slow a bit and
I can make it in there frequently enough to blow by all you guys. LOL
I'm sure many of
you have your own stories of groups like this. Perhaps this describes you.
Remember your support is important to everyone stepping out to create their own
success.
To those at the
Breathing Room and Bent Iron Gym thank you for passing on your passion to your
community. Keep it up.
